Lincoln Glenn Gallery is pleased to announce The slow unfolding: Friedel Dzubas' final abstractions, a solo exhibition of the artist’s late-career works, created between 1980 and 1989. These vibrant canvases mark Dzubas’ return to a more instinctive, expressive approach to painting, centered on gesture, movement, and color.

During the 1980s, Dzubas moved away from his earlier reliance on preparatory sketches and maquettes. Embracing improvisation, he worked with broad, chromatically rich forms to animate the surface of his canvases. The resulting works reflect a deep commitment to spontaneity and a refined understanding of balance, rhythm, and scale.

Rather than progressing through discrete artistic phases, Dzubas’ career reveals a continual cycle of renewal. His late abstractions recall the vigor of his early work while advancing it through decades of experimentation. Stacked color bands and drifting forms create tension and motion across the picture plane. His work on large-scale monotypes in the mid-1980s further influenced this period, underscoring his openness to varied techniques and ideas.
