FREE ENTRY
Echo Cambers presents a carefully curated selection of interior and abstract paintings by Bertie Fritsch, produced over the last six years. The interiors represent spaces visited by the artist where the acoustics and architectural qualities evoked a sense of calm and self-reflection. The more recent abstract work began to develop during the pandemic isolation, when a process of creative experimentation using long exposure night-time photography informed an ongoing series of abstract paintings.

ARTIST LINKS:
Bertie Fritsch is an audio-visual artist with a background in music, acoustics, product design, and sound engineering. He works across a range of media and technologies including painting, installation, sound and video.
His paintings often evoke acoustic memories within atmospheric architectural spaces; “I like to paint interior spaces, thresholds, and viewpoints which invoke a sense of spaciousness and inner peace, as well as abstracts and expressive landscapes”.
Bertie works from memory, photographs, and his imagination, applying various textures, layers and technical qualities to the painted surface to evoke a sense of dimension, acoustic, and properties of light. The paintings are often framed from a filmic viewpoint, incorporating reflective surfaces and counterintuitive perspectives. “They sit between realism and impressionism and often include characteristic elements from my own background, as well as occasional playful abstraction”.
