Tina Frantzen | Ephemera
30th November - 23rd December 2010
Opening: Tues 30th November, 5.30 – 7pm
Tina’s work in recent years has been concerned with the emotive qualities of light. Her pieces are created intuitively, through a process of stripping back layers of paint. The details of each subject are unknown to her before painting commences, so that with each work there is a process of discovery. By not titling the pieces, Tina shares this sense of discovery with her audience who are free to interpret each painting as they wish.
Her work continues to evolve. For this exhibition Tina has experimented with scale and colour palette. She gives more attention to the subject, which by virtue of increased scale, assumes a greater presence within the frame of the work.
Though her works are often thought to contain figures she has recently experimented with what appear to be abstracted landscapes. As always, the artist leaves the freedom of interpretation to the audience.
