Paintings and writings from London, Liverpool and Paris

Thursday 10th – Sunday 13th June

Presented at STOUR SPACE, London a contemporary art exhibition of abstract paintings, etchings & drawings, together with a collection of philosophical writings by artist and philosopher Fanchon Fröhlich.

“Part of Fanchon’s greatness lies in her ability to continually reinvent herself as an artist. Her writings on philosophy, science and art, her immense European culture, that also takes in the work of the American abstract expressionists, as well as the Japanese influences on her art, initiated by a period of work with Goto San in Kyoto, have all combined over the years, to the continuous and lively remaking of her art as the dominant expression of a life committed to imaginative creativity. (…)
Her work, always celebratory in tone and driving in energy, is the unstoppable example of an artist working with courage at the edge, and one who is prepared to accept all experience as subject matter for art, and to compound the risks proposed by pioneering into adventurous experimentation.”
Excerpt from ‘Neural Supernovae’ by Jeremy Reed, 2007

Thursday 10th June 6pm-9pm with music by Lawrence Ball
Friday 11th June, 6-9pm with Poetry by Jeremy Reed
Saturday 12th June 11am-6pm with a recapitulation (so to speak)
Sunday 13th June 11am-6pm with talks by the artist

* By appointment only

Retrospective at Gallery4allarts

fanchonfrohlich — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 22:44:07 +0000

An excellent retrospective of 5 decades of work by Fanchon Frohlich opened at The Grange, Ullet Road on Saturday. Fanchon was there of course, looking as elegant and arty as ever. Music by Frakture with whom she collaborated at Cornerstone last year and the gallery proprietor and curator Nicole Bartos read a lovely statement about the artist written by the poet, Jeremy Reed.

As well as several abstract paintings there are charcoal drawings, etchings, masses of sketch books, philosophical writings and my own favourite piece, I think, is her portrait of her late husband Herbert who for many years was Professor of Theoretical Physics at Liverpool University.

Viewing Monday to Saturday 2pm-4pm, or by appointment. Exhibition runs until April 12 2008.
