Bridging influences from 5th century BC sculpture to 21st century social media, Freeman’s painting practice dialogues and draws upon the work of Old and Modern Masters as varied as Polykleitos, Daumier, and Picasso. Her subject matter, culled from life experience, culture, world events and news, technology history, and literature, bears witness and comments on contemporary concerns while exploring links between present and past. Stylistically positioned between classical representation and contemporary figuration, on-going bodies of work combine clinical study, empathy, humor, and ironic juxtaposition to manipulate time and space through fine detail and gestural brushwork, monochromatic and luminous color, lightness of spirit and soulful depth.
