It was in the mid 1970's, at a time when painting was regarded by many of his contemporaries as being obsolete that Bernard Frize began to focus his attention exclusively on the act of painting.

It was in the mid 1970's, at a time when painting was regarded by many of his contemporaries as being obsolete that Bernard Frize (b. 1949, Saint-Mandé, France) began to focus his attention exclusively on the act of painting. His abstract compositions derived from elaborately constructed rules, carefully choreographed performances which determined entirely the works' formal composition. In one early series Frize peeled off the coloured skins from pots of paint left open in the studio and applied them over the surface of the canvas, the wet paint on the disks' undersides acting as adhesive. More recent compositions involve teams of assistants moving their linked brushes across a wet white ground, and like the participants in a may-pole dance, mixing colours and forming interweaving bands of colour as they go.

Frize's paintings might then seem to find their place within the rich and familiar territory of 'process painting', their lush brushstrokes acting as an index of the carefully choreographed rituals by which they are created. But there is a further twist to the story, and it is in this that Frize's work truly stands apart. Close inspection reveals that any trace of materiality or depth to the painted mark is conspicuously absent. Rather than indexes of the act of painting, Frize presents his viewers with pure images of paint, colour and reflected light.

Pia Fries, a former student in the masterclass of Gerhard Richter, has become one of the foremost representatives of European abstract painting. Her bold approach to painting reveals colours, forms and structures as individually ordered structures of the self, abandoning all traditional orders and values. Each image follows its own internal logic - seemingly evident to the viewer, yet at the same time utterly inexplicable.

The paint converges, merges, creates paths and traces, leaping out of the blank spaces she leaves. Her paintings are bold and daring. Flowing, stocking movements inform the entire image, at times enhanced and complemented by rhythmic inputs and manual interventions. They follow an inner logic that looks perfectly clear, and yet remains utterly inexplicable. For some time now, Pia Fries has been appropriating structures from found images, which she transfers onto the carrier by silkscreen and then uses as the starting point for her works. -Axel Jablonski
