Meaning & Analysis
The SS Portfolio by Terry Frost represents a sophisticated exploration of abstract forms through the medium of printmaking. Each artwork within the portfolio employs etching enhanced by Chine Collé, a technique that allows for the introduction of delicate textures and colours through the application of fine papers to the print. This method adds depth and subtlety to Frost's compositions, allowing for a more tactile and intimate presentation of his abstract motifs.
Ouzo And Black Olives and Laced Sun showcase Frost’s ability to evoke atmosphere through minimal yet expressive marks. The use of Chine Collé enriches the visual texture, giving each piece a unique identity that resonates with Frost’s broader artistic exploration of natural forms and rhythmic patterns.
In this series, Frost’s abstraction reaches a lyrical quality, where the titles of the works suggest a narrative or emotive underpinning, inviting viewers to engage with the interplay between the language used to title the prints and the minimal shapes and forms they depict.
