Jean Alexander Frater, an innovative and contemporary artist, redefines the boundaries of traditional painting by embracing a "sculptural painting" approach. Weary of the conventional hierarchy of art forms, Frater's work challenges the long-held assumption that painting is superior to other mediums such as sculpture, drawing, and printmaking. In her creations, she places the canvas - often considered a mere support - at the center of the artistic process. Frater's technique involves painting 10-by-10-foot color fields reminiscent of Mark Rothko or Ellsworth Kelly, tearing them apart, and weaving them into intricate geometric shapes and patterns before painting over them once more. The result is a striking and dynamic fusion of painting and sculpture that invites the viewer to consider the tactile qualities of the canvas and question why some art forms have been historically favored over others.
