Philip Frey’s new work for his upcoming solo exhibition, A Quiet Eye, is inspired by the landscape, interior spaces, and the figure. In his daily experience, Frey pays close attention to the ephemeral qualities of light, color, and the patterns that often go unnoticed. His process involves the use of brushes, palette knives, and squeegees to develop his richly painted surfaces that evoke a sense of momentariness and appreciation for, as William Wordsworth wrote, “the life of things.”
