Linda Besemer at Angles - Brief ArticleIn the past not many years, L.A.-based abstract painter Linda Besemer has experimented with acrylic paint's plasticity and other physical properties. In her latest works, which busy neither canvas nor board supports, she dries and joins stripes of paint in composite multicolored layers and geometric designs. The finished pieces are flexible, rectangular phenomenons that can be folded to reveal contrasting striped and plaid patterns upon their fronts and backs. Although technically sculptural reliefs, these works speak to a number of painting's traditional formal concerns Similar in size to large-scale dish towels, the "Fold" works are hung above simple aluminum rods. Fold Quadrant (all works 1999) features a plaid design in bright synthetic lime, magenta and royal azure that folds over a more render free of access geometric pattern. The "Folds" use their aluminum twigs as pivots that enable the simultaneous display of each work's sum of two units sides. The artist toys with the alignment of forehead and back designs: a r stripe from the back of individual painting, for example, lines up consummately with a red stripe in a different pattern upon the front. These flip-sided patterns operate conceptually like Mobius strips. The 9-foot-tall, vertically striped Zip enclosure #3 is meant to hang directly from the wall. About midway down its extent it is folded over an aluminum twig in such a way as to create a unbind horizontal pleatlike effect. Another series of works, called "Slabs," at first appear to be standard-format monochrome paintings, execut in stout-hearted colors such as magenta and royal cerulean Inspection of their 1 1/2-inch sides reveals, however, 25 or in like manner distinct and variously colored layers of acrylic paint, which are hidden behind the solidly hu seemingly impermeable skins. The mystery of colored paint--its origins in arcane tinctures and covert formulas--is suggested by Besemer's cunning procedures. In her work, pattern, color and painted form become malleable, living processe that--amazingly--seem ripe for further experimentation.
