BLACK DOG 200x170 Pigments on Canvas Abstraction is a portal to an adjacent realm, a whisper of another world, in flux and perpetually moving dialectically between the tangible and the ethereal, between Thanatos and Eros. There is ease and freedom to be had in this uprising.

BERTA SAVES HERSELF 200x136 Raw Pigments, Acrylics and Oil on Canvas In Berta Saves Herself, varying layers of blue unfold in a charged interplay between transparency and opacity, evoking a realm adjacent to language and perception. Frese captures the erotic tension that arises in the space where forms resist definition, hovering between visibility and dissolution. The work becomes an invocation of self-rescue — a passage through ambiguity toward self-assertion, where meaning flickers, elusive yet profoundly felt.

GAMMA RAYS Polyptych Installation 6x3 Meters This Polyptych plays with the idea of fusing inner and outer states in the concept of gamma waves, measurable brain activity when we meditate, dream and die. The Polyptych riffs on the visuals of gamma waves, while bringing down the sky and turning the world upside down in a form of camouflage, playing on the dialectics of the human-nature divide.
