The practice of Frederic Anderson (Luxembourg, 1973) constitutes an emotional shorthand, a self-referential language of abstract calligraphic marks and annotations of line, shape and color produced with gestural precision. The works are strongly influenced by minimal art, music and literature. They can be understood either as blank papers on which the artist writes until he generates a certain ‘textuality’ through a very personal sign language, or as a kind of sheet music, where different notes interact to create specific rhythms and tones that could be interpreted as a kind of visual melody.
