SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit Feb/Mar 2025
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is featuring member artists Luna Lee Ray and Peg Bachenheimer\, and guest artists Karli Pendergraft and William Moore. \n\n\n\nAlso on exhibit is a special selection of works by Cameroon artist Jean Michel Dissake. \n\n\n\nOpening reception is on Feb. 21 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuna Lee Ray\n\n\n\nTake a close look at the deep complexity of Luna’s layered mixed media surfaces. Then step back and let the mood and mystery of these abstract works reveal a truth in nature that cannot be conveyed through realism. Luna is inspired by the forms and processes of the natural world: cells and pods and clouds\, wind and light and mist and rain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeg Bachenheimer\n\n\n\nAn intuitive painter\, Peg starts thinking about color and feeling. She brings back memories of places she’s been\, music she hears\, and her experiences of place – especially in nature. The rich and vibrant applications of encaustic paint in Peg’s exhibited work explores the lush beauty of the garden. A colorful reminder that spring is on its way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKarli Pendergraft\n\n\n\nKarli’s organic sculptures seem to reach out and return on themselves — showing the interconnectedness of life\, from the unseen networks beneath the earth to the vast\, ever-changing rivers and oceans. The recent hurricane that devastated western North Carolina\, where Karli lives and works\, impacted all aspects of her world. It was a stark reminder of the power and fragility of nature.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam Moore\n\n\n\nThese wonderful works by William show how he pushes his materials of clay\, glass and metals to their extreme. The resulting colors and textures are sublime. Shown internationally\, William Moore’s work graces private and public collections\, which locally include Duke University Chapel\, Progress Energy headquarters\, SAS Corporation\, Glaxco Wellcome and the City Cary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJean Michel Dissake\n\n\n\nCameroonian artist Jean Michel Dissake’s sculptural works use found and recycled materials to represent a balance between nature and technology. He recently participated in this year’s Venice Biennale\, the world’s most prestigious art expo. It’s an honor to have Dissake’s work available here at FRANK Gallery\, considering he is on the verge of becoming very well known internationally. \n\n\n\n> LEARN MORE

SUMMARY:Jean Michel Dissake
DESCRIPTION:Sculptural Works\n\n\n\nSpecial exhibition lecture and short-film viewing on March 13 > LEARN MORE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCameroonian artist Jean Michel Dissake’s sculptural works use found and recycled materials to represent a balance between nature and technology by weaving natural objects such as wood\, vines\, termite dust\, water hyacinths\, and palm fronds together with computer boards\, aluminum wire\, license plates\, and car parts. These objects that embody energy from people around the world are sewn together with wire to celebrate diversity\, restore souls and bring unity. \n\n\n\nInformed by his cultural heritage as well as wisdom gained from living for nine years in a forest on the Mungo River\, Dissake’s work invokes a dialogue on ecological and spiritual matters and speaks to timely issues of unity\, love\, and oneness with nature. Dissake asserts that “everything is linked” and seeks\, through his art\, to heal the Tree of Life. \n\n\n\nThese works are selections from a recent exhibit at the Gregg Museum of Art and Design called BABENGA: The Sacred Forest. The Gregg exhibit was co-curated by Marriott Sheldon\, a Raleigh artist and guest artist at FRANK Gallery\, and Roger Manley\, former director of the Gregg Museum. \n\n\n\nBabenga refers both to the village where Dissake’s grandfather was the local king for over fifty years as well as the idea of the continuity of humans – a ceremonial invocation of a future land and new spirituality where humans and nature thrive. Dissake’s understanding and deep respect for the natural world imbue the works with symbolism that serves as a wakeup call to realize our interdependence with nature. \n\n\n\nDissake is recognized as a visionary artist\, philosopher and activist. He recently represented Cameroon with works exhibited in the 2024 Venice Biennale\, the world’s most prestigious art exposition. Jean Michel Dissake’s works were exhibited at the 2024 Dakar Biennale and included in many exhibitions in Europe. It is an honor to exhibit and offer Dissake’s works for sale here at FRANK Gallery\, considering he is on the verge of becoming very well known internationally. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFROM THE EXHIBITION
