Mark Frygell: Fiction of the Village in Frames
We are delighted to present Fiction of the Village in Frames, Mark Frygell鈥檚 third solo exhibition at Andr茅hn-Schiptjenko.
Mark Frygell's enigmatic paintings feature visual fantasy environments with sculpted, painted and patterned surfaces in oil. Drawing inspiration from art history, game art, folklore and mythology, the artist transcends specific cultural boundaries but often emphasizes caricature, the grotesque and the comic. A recurring theme in his paintings is the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, along with the dynamic between fiction and reality, exploring how these elements interact and coalesce.
Fiction of the Village in Frames showcases the artist鈥檚 particular approach in blending traditional painting techniques with computer software, especially 3D engines. At the heart of the exhibition are fourteen paintings, created in chronological order, which combine 3D models and AI-generated imagery reinterpreted through painting. The exhibition concept originated with Frygell constructing a scale model of the Andr茅hn-Schiptjenko gallery space, using the 3D software Blender. This model served as a foundation from which a larger virtual landscape evolved, gradually incorporating additional 3D models to create scenes for his paintings. Representing this part of the process, Fiction of the Village in Frames also includes a video work showing animated scenes based on the artist鈥檚 3D models. Consequently, both the paintings and video work act as windows within the gallery, offering glimpses into his interconnected visual world.
