"Painter Philip Frey has found a new freedom. In the past year he has transitioned from acrylic to oil while exploring an approach to the landscape that leans into the abstract. The stand-outs of the show are several paintings based on memories of islands off Hancock and Schoodic Points and Grindstone Neck, a stretch of coast to which Frey continues to lay painterly claim. These iconic shapes set against the sea and sky have a modernist edge, bold yet dream-like," writes Carl Little in his catalog essay for Philip Frey’s 2011 solo show at Courthouse Gallery Fine Art.
