Nerys Levy
Nerys is a plein air artist who has traveled extensively documenting Earth’s landscapes. Her largest bodies of work focus on the Polar regions, Italy, and Great Britain, particularly Wales. This exhibition features two elements of Nerys’ British series: the Cardiff Bay series and the Crowhurst, Surrey series. The Crowhurst paintings were executed on site using mixed media watercolor on paper. Archival prints of her Cardiff Bay sketchbook will also be on display.
Natalie Boorman
For ceramicist Natalie, who’s been around sheep most of her life, sheep have a calming influence and remind her that humans aren’t the only species on earth. Working alongside the FRANK Youth Art Group for the past few months, Natalie has created imaginative ceramic sheep, glazed and fired in her raku kiln. This show also features Natalie’s traditional pinch pot forms fired with the “naked raku” method. This special kind of raku firing is “naked” because the glaze pops off at the end of the firing, and what’s left is a clay slip, sometimes stained blue.
Lah Boh
BP’s 2010 oil spill was the largest in human history. In this series of oil paintings, FRANK Emerging Artist Lah focuses on the environmental impacts of such disasters. His work explores the quiet, suffocating violence that pollution inflicts on the natural world. By combining that theme with surrealism, Lah aims to expose the unvarnished reality of our ecological footprint, transforming abstract environmental statistics into visceral landscapes of neglect.
Youth Art Group
Fourteen years ago, FRANK Gallery formed the Karen Youth Art Group to support newly arrived refugee students. Now called the FRANK Youth Art Group, most of its students are still from the Karen Community, and the program continues to provide educational enrichment to and serve as artistic inspiration for the students. The current cohort has students between 9 and 20 years old. To date, the program has worked with close to 200 students, many of whom have gone on to further and higher education as a result of this educational enrichment program.
