Frea Buckler is a British contemporary artist who lives and works in Bristol, England. Frea uses the silkscreen process as a tool for drawing. She makes unplanned, improvised, one-off printed works on paper, retaining the precision and technique of screen printing but following her intuition. Selecting colours and shapes instinctively as a starting point, she works quickly, responding to what has gone before. She negotiates a space between chaos and control to produce abstract prints that resemble unfolded boxes or origami – bending, folding and opening out in different directions. They play with illusion and perception, they look 3D but are flat, they have the potential to be something but they are not, there are loose ends and spaces in between.
