Product Description

Andy Warhol putting on his wig; Picasso having his morning shower; Leonardo sharing a glass of wine with Mona Lisa; Rothko contemplating his own paintings. Holly Frean's art is full of oblique - and playful - glimpses into the lives of artists and the history of art. But the obliqueness and playfulness are held within a definite structure. Her pictures may be infused with lightness - lightness of tone, lightness of statement, lightness of spirit - but it is a lightness that buoys up - rather than undermines - a seriousness of purpose. Over the last five years Frean has explored the possibilities of building up pictures from multiple images arranged in formal grid. It has proved a rich seam. Amongst the first paintings in the series were arrangements transcribed from old master portraits - and self-portraits: men in beards, men with hats - seen from the front, imagined from behind. They were images that both celebrated individual genius and dissolved it into pattern. That series has now evolved into the current sequence, which - as its starting point - imagines the working lives of Frean's painter-heroes. It is an inspired conceit. The pictures - for all their visual wit and sly humour - acknowledge the fragility of art, and celebrate its triumph. Through her imaginative projections Frean shows how great art is created amidst the mundane cares and daily routines of an artist's life.
