Frequency Tuning

Press Release

In her current series of intricately layered paintings, Lynda Schlosberg visually explores the crossing point between physical and nonphysical worlds. Schlosberg’s large vibrant paintings are inspired by both natural and unnatural elements. A multitude of lines and dots evoking satellite images of rivers, trees, glaciers and chasms sprawl across the canvas atop fluid pools of color. The illusion of space pushing in all directions is created by her sensitive use of color, values, and pattern. Schlosberg’s intricate and complex paintings are inspired by quantum theories and philosophies. In the construction of her work she utilizes a process of fragmentation using small repetitive marks to depict an imaginal realm where all natural and unnatural forces collapse into a vibrating energy that can materialize into one of an infinite number of potential realities.

In some paintings dark areas juxtaposed with lighter ones read as solid forms hovering in space, or perhaps the lighter areas appear as cut-outs pushing the dark areas deeper into space. In other paintings the layers appear more flattened and commingled yet still force the eye to decide what is foreground and what is background, often not finding a resolution. In these works the eye becomes a tuning device that leads fluidly back and forth between multiple levels of being. Schlosberg questions whether it’s possible to adjust one’s frequency-tuning abilities to move easily between worlds, or to experience both at the same time, “We experience the world with our intellect and physical senses, yet there is also an invisible sea of energy beyond our awareness that surrounds, connects, and influences us.” Working with both metaphysical principles and philosophical ideas Schlosberg presents her work as a macrocosm where all things are intermingled, out of which anything is possible.
