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
[edit]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 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
[edit]Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights
[edit]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
[edit]The Art & Shadows program (2014-2015) provided on-site studio space for 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 leveraged the site’s unique buildings, gardens, and collections. Frese combined vintage photos and documents from the Shadows' historical archives with her own photographs of household objects and textiles, interior domestic spaces, and the surrounding south Louisiana landscape.[4][5]
Pacha Mama: earth realm
[edit]Pacha Mama: earth realm combines art, essays, prayers, and poems synthesizing themes from the Italian Renaissance and South American earth goddess Pachamama with contributions by Louisiana poet laureate Darrell Bourque. "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
[edit]Reconstituting the Vanished: Gender, Memory and Placemaking in the Delta South (1993-1997), a collaborative installation by Lynda Frese and Dr. Barbara Allen, Virginia Tech University, re-imagined 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 with image and text installations which 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
[edit]Lynda Frese: Immagini Pagane (Pagan Imaging), 2000, publication and exhibition at Palazzo Farnese, Ortona, Italy, addresses the divine feminine with depictions of Madonna and goddess figures from pagan mythologies; critical essays by Dr. Remo Palmirani, founder of Museo Ex Libris Mediterraneo[10], and Alison Smith, head curator National Portrait Gallery, London.
