Frady MoCA

Gudrun Mertes-Frady’s grounding principles are clarity and structure, pared down to essential forms. As a timeless organizing principle, geometry is consistently the underlying matrix or architecture. From the matrix, she bends the lines to create a spatial reference all her own, teasing apart the structure of her paintings. This quasi-symmetry is served well by her attention to the surfaces. Some are quite matte and austere — the better to highlight the precise curved lines of the spaces she defines with authority.
