Fredericka Foster “Water Way”
Fischbach Gallery
This event has ended.
Water Way is a continuing series of visual explorations of fresh moving water, from the powerful Kjosfossen Waterfall in Norway to the industrial Hudson River in New York City. Foster’s work has been informed by such contemporary Artists as Vija Celmins, and inspired by landscape painters as diverse as Albert Bierstadt and Marsden Hartley. “Painting is a way of thinking and acting that connects me with my subject by the interrelationships between mind, body, paint, line, color, mass, form, and shape. The inherent tendencies I bring to these interactions determine the “look” of all of my work and in every piece the intention is the same: to use this way of being as a connection with an embodied and acutely felt energy source.” Fredericka Foster 2013
Foster’s paintings are deeply inspired by music and involve a complex dance between mind, body, and materials in a nonverbal experience. This show was influenced by the music of Philip Glass, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Sezen Aksu, and the Italian Opera. Foster paints from the point of view of a bird floating above the subject. She experiences the rhythm of her forms; rhythms modulated by her decision to try something new with every painting.
