Ruth Freeman
Architect-turned-painter Ruth Freeman talks about how unrealistic expectations inform her work and how she infuses gesture in digitally-informed painting.
It's as if they have been digitally regurgitated. Perhaps viewers expect to see something that can't possibly be created in real space. I hope that it creates an awkwardness.
About the Artist
Ruth Freeman (b. 1969) is a New York-based painter whose work explores the relationship between chaos and order. Beginning with a detailed digital mockup, Ruth alternates between additive and subtractive layers of paint, mirroring her computer based sketch. Once these initial layers are complete, Ruth allows chance to intervene as she adds impromptu gestural brushwork in reaction and opposition to her previous marks.
