About Frieda
Resonant lines of color burn and bend within Frieda Isbell's deep, choreographed medleys of movement and emotion. Her long, compressed bundles of expressive brushstrokes mold human figures into scenes stripped out of elapsed performances, capturing the energy and drama of motion, direction and human interaction. Frieda tackles these elements of dance and evokes poses frozen in time, yet richly suspended in demonstrative swirls of light and momentum. The partnered dancers who inhabit her works float gracefully and aggressively into each other while seamlessly harmonizing with each painting's larger compositions through harmonized mosaics of lines and shapes. Frieda's unified constructions maintain focused attention on each curve and reflection, but command the forces of movement and light that they signify with masterful discipline, wrapping them together into climactic statements of gravitas and passion.
Frieda lives and works in Texas, where she has studied and showcased her work in exhibitions including spotlight showings in her former home of San Antonio.
