Gina Freschet

As an artist who likes to write in pictures, my primary interest is human behavior and perception. I am fascinated in the ability of people to contrive selves in a projection of what each individual desires to be or believes to be at the moment. To study individual identity in terms of its social reality is to work in the realm of Moliere.

As individual behavior extends to national identity I am constantly curious at how we perceive ourselves and  project ourselves as opposed to how others perceive us.

In order to deal with our carnival society with its models, pop icons and
political idols designed to trick us, my first defense is to become invisible by blending into the surroundings. Then to observe and record.

In a world of accepted ideas my job is to strip them of their acceptability and, in a style influenced by the drawings of children, mad persons, brutes and outsiders, I practice the playful juggling of serious issues.
