Gudrun Mertes Frady
Gudrun Mertes-Frady "Lines of Flight" -- Abstract Painting

2017

About the Item

Gudrun Mertes-Frady Lines of Flight, 2017 water-based and metallic media on Mylar 42 x 30 in. This contemporary abstract minimalist painting on Mylar paper is subtly metallic, and shines in the light. Thin layers of paint and metallic media form a delicate atmospheric blue, traversed by swooping silver lines. "In my paintings, I use metallic pigments, like aluminum and graphite. I also use mica particles mixed with my colors to affect a kinetic quality of illusory motion depending from which angle the work is seen. I try to find out what the painting wants from me. I sometimes have the distinct feeling that I feed the canvas with color and form, and it either accepts my choice or it rejects it. So I flounder between trial and error until I make the right decision. I am always waiting for that instant in which the painting snaps into focus. I depend most of all on this gut feeling. Sometimes, the painting may respond favorably to one of my arbitrary choices, but I can’t agree just yet and I try to resist its choice. A battle begins. I always loose in the end. Only when I let go of my preconceptions and just follow, can I truly arrive at something new and surprising. I know this must sound very strange, but this is the relationship I have with my work. It needs me to bring it to life and I need it to keep me living, physically and spiritually." -Gudrun Mertes-Frady

By Peggy Cyphers
Located in New York, NY
This abstract composition in blue and brown black earthtones is created with a unique perspective which gives a feeling of looking up at a sky or looking down into merging paths of water. Cyphers use of silver leaf gives the central forms a reflective glow, which balances well with her masterful brushwork and mark making. This painting has a meditative quality that draws the viewer in and allows for introspective thought.
