| Bernard Frize, Mescali, 2014 |
Bernard Frize turned to abstract painting at the end of the 1970s constructing compositions determined by elaborate sets of rules. For each series of paintings Frize employs a different technique. The work is resolutely un-expressive and un-representational: it is about the essence and process of painting itself.
This exhibition features work which derives from a painting Frize made in 1986 on the ceiling of the Musée d’art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. The pictures also have a theme of 'doubling' - "Each act of doubling is specific, enacted sometimes within and sometimes between works. Some among these paintings become pairs, while others are divided and doubled within their confines, cut in two, painted twice, superimposed, above and below." (Simon Lee Gallery)
Looks like a great show.
