Linda Besemer — Fold #59
Linda Besemer

Fold #59

2001

A vibrant, large-scale painting by Linda Besemer, *Fold #59* challenges traditional notions of painting by draping a sheet of pure acrylic paint—with no canvas or stretcher—over an aluminum rod. The work showcases Besemer's signature technique of building up layers of acrylic into a freestanding, flexible object that hangs and folds under its own weight. The result is a visually dynamic piece that blurs the boundary between painting and sculpture, inviting viewers to consider the physical properties of paint itself as a material.
