Abstract Thinking: Fanchon Fröhlich

January 2024  ……………..Possibly 19th  January 

January 2024 Join Art with our Curator Amanda Draper, as she explores the work of Fanchon Fröhlich. Abstract Expressionist, Philosopher and Physicist, Fanchon creates her own quantum realms within her art, questioning the notions of observation, existence, and aesthetics. Anna will explore the work of Fröhlich’s contemporaries and their connections to the artists’ practice, in order to contextualise her abstract thinking.
