Welcome!

...Elisabeth Frieberg's recent series of paintings have been produced in a meticulous and labor-intense working process. Parts of the canvas were taped with lines in large, dynamic gestures, and the in-between spaces used as painting ground, before the tape was removed, uncovering the unprimed, raw canvas. The resulting paintings are loaded, they are landscapes of signs. Inspired by Matisse's cut outs, and the relationship between material and void, positive and negative in these works, we are confronted with several layers that overlap and create different viewpoints and perspectives. In earlier works, Frieberg used painted pictures of the bottom grounds of lakes as a background, which was covered by a pattern of lines, with a reference to American modernist painting hero Agnes Martin, as an abstract form of representation of a landscape. Frieberg made a longer working visit to Taos in the New Mexican desert, the place where Martin spent the last years of her life, a mythical place that was deeply connected to her take on abstraction. In these earlier paintings, two layers of representation of a landscape collide. In the new works, the layers interweave, and the canvas - the physical ground of painting - becomes a part. Some lines are monochrome, others are patterned, and further geometric forms, blobs or curves, appear across several lines, like a supra-form, or a shadow that hovers over or underneath the canvas and its lined structure....
