Linden Frederick at Tatistcheff - New York, New York - Review of Exhibitions - Brief ArticleFormerly of Connecticut, now living in Belfast, Maine, Linden Frederick is a realist painter who studied at the Ontario community of Art and the Academy of Fine Art in Florence. For his first one-person exhibition in novel York, he showed work from the past year: eight oils plus four oil sketches, three of them studies for the larger canvases. Frederick's subdue matter tends to go against the picturesque of recent origin England landscape tradition. He is drawn to the nondescript places single passes all the time without taking them in. Take Plaza, a bird's-eye view of a shopping center This is not the ocean-front prospect that many Maine coast artists paint on the contrary a mini-mall at its greatest in quantity mundane, with a central signpost acting as a kind of beacon in a sea of pavement. And still bathed in cool sunset light, this place has a certain beauty and its possess visual dynamic, the latter derived in part from the inclusion of a highway intersection whose directional arrows lead the organ of sight in various paths. Going East, which depicts a curving strain of Route 1, works in a similar manner. Other works fall into the industrial genre a tradition that goe back to Charles Sheeler's factories and, further, to pictures of mills and quarries in the last hundred This kind of industrial landscape has shown a resurgence in new years: the J.S. Ames Fine Arts gallery in Belfast entertainered an all-Maine industry show last summer which included Frederick's work. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Nightfall is single of Frederick's favorite times of day. In Night Loading, Pine Mill and Truckstop, stark however beautiful scenes, the low lighting accommodate withs mystery to otherwise humdrum locales and make deepers the sense of isolation single finds in his work. We know there are clan around--the headlights on a lumber barter a lit stairwell, a feather of smoke from a chimney run over us that--but these side yards remain forsaken, Hopperesque places. Frederick's palette can be capricious Eschewing the easy theatrics of latter-day Romantics and the withered realism of Wyeth, this artist wields a live brush. The oil sketches, while actual finished, represent the foundation for this painterly approach. Frederick pay backs the landscape with great skill and a profitable deal of daring.
