Kinghorn cited in Ellsworth American article on book about Sullivan artist
The Ellsworth American published an article on a new book about a Sullivan artist titled, “Philip Frey: Here and Now.” Over the past two decades, Frey has developed into one of Maine’s finest landscape painters, according to the article. Known as a colorist, he uses a bold palette to capture the light and moods of his home state, the article states. George Kinghorn, executive director and curator of the University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor, singles out Frey’s ability to render complex motifs by way of dynamic planes of color. “Frey’s art occupies the nexus between contemporary painting and brushy traditionalism,” Kinghorn wrote in the book’s introduction. “If there is a focus to this new direction in Maine painting, his art is it.”
