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 pay close attention to the ephemeral qualities of light, color, and pattern that often go unnoticed. His process involves the use of brushes, palette knives, and squeegees to develop a rich paint surface and abstractions that evoke a sense of momentariness and appreciation for, as Wordsworth wrote, “the life of things.”
