This will be the first one-person presentation of Suzan Frecon’s (b. 1941) work in Paris since 1999. On view will be recent canvases that elaborate on the artist’s enduring investigation of large-scale oil paintings, as well as richly textured paintings on paper. 

Frecon is known for abstract oil paintings and works on paper that—as she notes—“speak for themselves.” Made over long stretches of time, her work invites the viewer’s sustained attention: these, she says, “are not pictures that you look at. They are paintings that you experience.”

The Light Factory attests to the artist’s engagement with the possibilities of her medium, and the exhibition’s title gestures to the ways in which light functions as a component of her paintings. Frecon’s works are characterized by asymmetrically balanced forms in precise spatial and proportional relationships; for the artist, composition serves as her foundational structure, holding color, material, and light. She mixes and applies pigments and oils to differing effects, heightening the visual experience of her work with an almost tactile use of color and contrasting matte and shiny surfaces, which in turn  vary in terms of density and reflectivity, frequently shifting between dark and light. Figure can become ground and ground can become figure in, as the artist defines it, a back-and-forth of full and empty space.
