Angela Fraleigh weaves together realism and abstraction in lush and complex works, ranging from intimate portraits to monumental figure paintings, that question and reimagine women’s roles in art history, literature, and contemporary media. Fraleigh’s latest site-specific installation, Shadows Searching for Light, is inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper and his relationship with his wife, Josephine (Jo) Nivison Hopper. Exploring the psychological space within Edward Hopper’s paintings and the dynamics of the Hoppers’ two-artist marriage, Fraleigh focuses on the women who inhabit Hopper’s artwork- dramatic figures almost always modeled after Jo Nivison Hopper herself.
