Lynda Frese (born 1956) is an American visual artist whose work explores human relationships with the natural world. Her art is informed by prehistoric sites, the Italian Renaissance, and the cultural history of the American South.[1]

Early life and education

Lynda Frese (b. January 25, 1956, Jacksonville, Florida)[citation needed] She received a B.A. (1978) and M.F.A (1986) from the University of California at Davis. Her first major exhibition was the 1982 SECA (Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Arts) Photography Invitational at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, curated by Van Deren Coke. In 2016, she was named professor emeritus at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she taught for thirty years in the Department of Visual Arts. Frese received fellowships from the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, the Rockefeller Bellagio Center and the Bogliasco Study Center for the Arts and Humanities in Italy. The 2018 exhibition “Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights” at the Hilliard Art Museum surveyed 40 years of her work.[2]

Work

Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights

Frese’s 2018 exhibition Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights at the Hilliard Art Museum surveyed 40 years of her work, from early toned gelatin silver prints produced in California to recent photo-collage and egg tempera works. A monograph with critical essays was published by University of Louisiana Press. The catalogue "highlights a selection of early gelatin silver photograms and experiments made in California, while tracing a steady trajectory, from 1978 to 2018, of her continued interest in human and natural forms," said curator Laura Blereau.[3]

Art & Shadows

The Art & Shadows program (2014-2015) provided on-site studio space for Frese and musician David Greely at Shadows-on-the-Teche in New Iberia, Louisiana. The residency was supported by the National Trust for Historic Preservation which acquired the former plantation home in 1958. The Art & Shadows series consists of 24 pieces, leveraging the site’s unique buildings, landscapes, and collections. Frese combined vintage photographs and documents from the Shadows’ historical archives with her photographs of household objects, textiles, interior domestic spaces, and the south Louisiana land.[4][5]

Pacha Mama: earth realm

Pacha Mama: earth realm consists of 35 artworks accompanied by essays, prayers, and poems, synthesizing themes from Italian Renaissance art and the South American earth goddess, Pachamama. The book includes contributions by film maker Kathi von Koerber, yogi Michelle Baker, and Louisiana poet laureate Darrell Bourque. The Louisiana Artists and Scholars Program (ATLAS) supported its production. "The art in Pacha Mama: earth realm is lush, complex, and sinister, with traces of Goya and Brothers' Grimm ... to Frese, at the core of natural harmony beats the earth's dark heart."[6] [7]

Reconstituting the Vanished: Gender, Memory, and Placemaking in the Delta South

Reconstituting the Vanished: Gender, Memory and Placemaking in the Delta South (1993-1997), a collaborative installation by Frese and Barbara Allen, Institute for Society, the Culture and the Environment, at Virginia Tech University, sought to re-imagine the lives of four women who shaped Louisiana history: Marie-Thereze Coin-Coin (1742-1816), the Baroness Pontalba (1795-1874), Caroline Dormon (1888-1971), and Marie Laveau (1801-1881). The exhibition traveled nationally to over thirty public venues. The image and text installations explored large-scale early digital photography processes, while "extending a new feminist reading of these women's pasts and the places they built, to recover and reconstruct a new gender-inclusive public memory."[8][9]

Immagini Pagane

Lynda Frese: Immagini Pagane (2000) is a 60 page catalog that accompanied an exhibition at the Palazzo Farnese in Ortona, Italy. Immagini Pagane (Pagan Imaging) addresses the divine feminine, exploring depictions of the Madonna and older goddess figures from pagan mythologies; with critical essays by Dr. Remo Palmirani, founder of Museo Ex Libris Mediterraneo[10], and Alison Smith, head curator National Portrait Gallery, London.
