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...

Battle For Yellowstone, Original Oil Painting of Oversized Fictional Bookcover
By Don Pollack
Located in Chicago, IL
The Battle for Yellowstone is an oversized book cover painting emphasizing a battle between ourselves and nature. The "author" here is Ernest Hemingway yet the book title references a book discussing the mismanagement of our national parks. We are waging an environmental battle between the grizzly's natural habitat our own need for space. The quote "No subject is terrible if the subject is true" is taken from Ernest Hemingway's character in Woody Allen's movie Midnight in Paris. Don Pollack has created a truly thought provoking piece.

Don Pollack BIOGRAPHY
Don Pollack is a Painter and Adjunct Associate Professor of Visual Communication at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work investigates among other things, the relationship between personal mythologies and representation in painting and how it may simultaneously give reference to a narrative. Working in cross disciplines has influenced his perspectives as projects begin with an epic adventure. Conceptually proceeding from the premise that all vision is historic and constructed, Pollack’s research starts with the planning of a long distance trek,– such as a 3000 mile journey via bicycle following Lewis and Clark. His work has utilized maps, documents, photography, painting, and installation.This work was routed in a previous investigation into the role of museums in the process of forming collective memory.
Don studied design at the University of Illinois and painting at the Ohio State University where he received his MFA. The State of Illinois has recognized his history based work with a special bicentennial edition of the ‘Order of Abraham Lincoln’ award. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has shown many solo shows in, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Canada.
True Life Novelettes is the most recent addition to the bigger project; Crossing
The Great Divide which is loosely a series of landscape and history projects I
began in 2009. It explores among other things, current events and personal
literary interests through the construction of large scale [48x72”] book cover paintings.
I use a variety of images juxtaposed with bylines and misplaced authors in order
to create new meanings. I read the print edition of the New York Times for current
content and subject matter, and because I still like the feel of a large document and
printed typography. Recently and with a twist of prescient irony, a found myself
reading a special supplemental section of the Times declaring that “the post-text
future is here!” Could that be good for painting, now that we are entering an online
culture ruled by pictures! But if our information will become dominated by pictures,
slogans, and emotional announcements, I do fear that the arguments driving political
discourse will soon become completely supplicated by popular memes. What should
the new best sellers look like? Do I have enough time to read them? Underneath
all this fanfare is it possible that the discussion will also be reduced to the display
of personal artifacts of material culture? In the fashion section of today’s Times the
headline reads, “Can you wear Dior to the Protest March?” (Enter my books.) I first
start by writing columns and mixing up the authors with made-up titles (from films
and books) and looking for strange connections to create a metaphorical tension. I
then look for popular images and taglines in the news, print media, and the publishing
business, and search for catchy phrases from film dialog. Then I combine everything
into a new design layout to form a hybrid of ‘true life novelettes’ and modern classics.
Climate change denial and alt/fake news declarations become great sources for topics
in the overwhelming modern noise machine too grim to bear. I cancel my cable subscription.
But what are the conditions for making a painting in a world saturated with
images? While the representational, abstract, and technical concerns of painting collapse
into the same memory well, what are we to say especially when we have “seen all the
films and seen all the pictures”? The works of Tursic and Mille have pointed me into
this new direction. In order to visually reclaim myself from disappearing into the ruins,
I adopt a strategy combining editorial cartooning, oil painting and graphic design. I
am attracted to those handsome publisher’s design formats, especially the ones that
utilize carefully-placed typography and eclectic images– such as Everyman’s Library,
Penguin Books, and Barnes and Noble. There are colored stripes running along the
sides of the covers identifying the modern story collections, with the authors’ names
set in script fonts. These various formats also hold the space to paint a combination of
historic events and contemporary imagery from popular culture. I also patrol the web
and search for vintage advertising campaigns for copy. Perhaps this grimness can have
an uplifting thread. However, Virginie Vuillaume in Another Girl warns, “desire leads to
disaster, partly bound up with fiction but also with death and catastrophe. The fate of
those who are in love with images is always tragic, desire always leads to disaster.” So
now Tursic and Mille’s painting that appropriated an image of a house on fire from a
scene from Andrei Tarkovski’s film The Sacrifice also becomes my subject matter for the
cover of the Year of Living Dangerously. For 2017, The Year of the Eclipse, the cover takes
direction from a modern classic rendition of Frankenstein, with his head screwed on
backwards. Maybe the only way left to paint now is by moving things forward by the
only way possible,– through other mediums. The byline lyric for Eclipse is now taken
from the Youngbloods popular song of 1967, Get Together,–so come on Frankenstein,
‘Smile on Your Brother’.
