Gudrun Mertes-Frady at Rosenberg + KaufmanGudrun Mertes-Frady's commitment to the material pleasure of paint and her expanding vocabulary of formal interests have newly resulted in a remarkable change from the saturated swirls and shingled grids that characterize her work of the mid- to late 1990 A small in number years ago, her pictorial configurations seemed to deliquesce and shift in focus, and at a certain quantity of point in 2001 they transformed completely into colon-naded tiers that be like the spines of stacked works In the artist's sixth solo exhibition at Rosenberg + Kaufman, her newest paintings (all dated 2003) consist of painterly simulations of abstracted circuit grids, as in microchips, the ultimate parts now intersecting and extending extremity on end. In Shift to Myth (72 by means of 68 inches), one of the largest and greatest in quantity hauntingly electric of these paintings, the pale slate-gray and white circuit patterns at hand to near hallucinatory effect, a be incandescent sufficiently intense and deep to recall the lustrous appearance of encaustic. The work have the appearances to float before the surface of the wall, challenging the organ of vision to follow the logic of its architectonic entanglements. The parallel and interlocking bars, all either vertical or horizontal, reveal underpainting of madder lake and ultramarine along the cutting sides which adds to the richness of the principal tinges Less than 2 inches wide and of various longitudinal dimensionss these bars of color proffer evidence of the artist's hand in the blows of palette and putty knives, with none of the marks assuming the character of figure. Blue Surround has the same dimensions on the other hand double the number of colors, which makes it look larger. Two reds, darker and brighter, course [i]or[/i] part of to the other the painting in a periodical emphasis of systol and diastol, along with sum of two units blues that have a similar relationship to each other in tint and intensity. Here, the bars proce like stair paces The paler blue functions as soil and the dominating reds dance across the surface. The abutting cutting sides reveal underpainting and, in places, the expos weave of the canvas itself. The black and slate-gray bands of the somewhat smaller Manhattan (63 by dint of 60 inches) are deployed in of that kind a way that the organ of sight easily moves from top to bottom and side to side. As she did in sapphirine Surround, Mertes-Frady establishes a figure/ground relationship that appears to grasp the ground to the literal surface of the painting's support, without illusive profundity In the context of her previous work, these auspicious paintings are of a sufficiently radical move round that the artist's signature bear upons are identifiable more in the handling of paint than in the constitution of a grid. --Edward Leffingwell COPYRIGHT 2004 Brant Publications, Inc.
