Over the past four decades, New York-based artist Suzan Frecon (born 1941) has become known for abstract oil paintings and watercolors that are at once reductive and expressive. While she has described oil painting as her primary focus, watercolor has played a vital role in her process, as both a form of study for the larger oil paintings and as an outlet for a looser, more gestural style. As with her oil paintings, Frecon's works on paper continue her investigation of a highly allusive, geometric and yet still organic abstraction; mostly small in scale, they are remarkable for their quiet presence and power. "Suzan Frecon: Paper "is published to coincide with an exhibition at David Zwirner in New York, and features over 50 watercolors, a few small oil-on-panel works and a collection of excerpted texts and poetry selected by the artist.
