Hunting Egypt. 2001. Oil on canvas, 68x101 cm

Painted in the style reminiscent of the Old Master, Freymuth-Frazier brings the subject matter into the present. Here we see a woman - a self portrait - dressed in a sumptuous silk robe and gown, clutching a Persian cat yet with curlers in her hair. Painted during the early days of the pandemic, Rose takes her subjects from her surroundings, not necessarily her own experiences, but rather part of a larger experience of being a woman in today's society. Rose Freymuth-Frazier Midlife Madonna oil on linen 56h x 34w in 142.24h x 86.36w cm RFF047 Rose Freymuth-Frazier Employing the techniques of the past in the service of contemporary exploration, I seek to add a fresh voice to the sometimes venerable, sometimes dusty and archaic tradition of large-scale figurative painting, while subtly addressing the mythology, objectification and subjugation of women. My subjects are at first glance close to home-new mothers, friends, lovers, artists, dancers-but are then quickly placed at a distance via edgy modification, rigorous technique, minimal contexts and composition, and idiosyncratic use of color. I am also interested in social presentation, artifice, and simulation as they relate to my subjects. I hope to peel away a gossamer thin layer of reality, not just to document the real but also to reveal what might be. BIOGRAPHY Given my restless history, it is curious that I became a figurative painter in New York City. My maternal Grandparents fled Hitler's Germany in the late 1930's. After being refused entry to the United States, they were welcomed into the Dominican Republic, where they happily resided in a small orderly bungalow of their own design and made their living as studio photographer and cheese maker...

The sable colored mare bows her head to allow the viewer a better view of her intricate mane which is enhanced with red roses. Red-winged black birds flit around her, a symbol of protection, good luck and even prosperity. The amber rose background intensifies the softness of the horse's coat and the overall aesthetic.
