Lynda Frese (born January 25, 1956) is an American visionary artist exploring relationships between humans and the natural world. Her work finds inspiration in the art of prehistoric peoples, Renaissance religious themes and rituals which reference the sacredness of nature. [1]
Early life and education
Frese was born in 1956, Jacksonville, Florida and spent her childhood in New York, Vermont, and Jamestown, Rhode Island. She studied art along the West coast, receiving a B.A. (1978) and M.F.A (1986) from the University of California at Davis and attending Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, in 1985. 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. She received fellowships from the Rockefeller Bellagio Center and the Liguria Center for the Arts and Humanities. Her 2018 exhibition “Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights” at the Hilliard Art Museum surveyed 40 years of the artist’s work.
Work
Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights
Her 2018 exhibition “Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights” at the Hilliard Art Museum surveyed 40 years of the artist’s work, from early toned gelatin silver prints produced in California to recent photo-collage and egg tempera works. An eponymous monograph with critical essays was published by UL 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.[2]
Art & Shadows
The Art & Shadows program (2014-2015) provided on-site studio space for visual artist Lynda 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. The artist combined vintage photographs and letters from the Shadows’ historical archives spanning the 19th and 20th C with her photographs of household objects, textiles, interior domestic spaces, gardens and fields.
Pacha Mama: earth realm
In Pacha Mama: earth realm, Lynda Frese brings together 35 of her own artworks, with essays, prayers and the poems in collaboration with poet laureate Darrell Bourque, to invite the reader to consider ways of living harmoniously with the earth. The Louisiana Artists and Scholars Program (ATLAS) supported artistic production. The book presents a synthesis of themes from Italian Renaissance art and Pachamama, the South American earth goddess. "The art in Pacha Mama: earth realm is lush, complex, and sinester, with traces of Goya and Brothers' Grimm ... to Frese, at the core of natural harmony beats the earth's dark heart." Nathan Martin *
