OPENING RECEPTION FEBRUARY 11TH FROM 5-7PM
We close out winter with this exhibit featuring member artists Carol Retsch-Bogart and Linda Prager, and guest artists Brent Arnold, Pearl Arnold and Marilyn Palsha. Join us at the gallery for the opening reception on February 11.
Carol Retsch-Bogart
Member artist, Carol Retsch-Bogart is a highly skilled mixed media artist, constantly challenging herself and how she approaches her medium. Melding her past experiences as a psychotherapist with being an artist further enhances her work and amplifies her ability to tell a story through textures and layers.

Linda Prager

A multi-talented artist and member of the gallery, Linda Prager will have her newest ceramic pieces featured. These hand-built and textured pieces have a beautiful, graphic quality. Using all sorts of methods and tools in order to create surface texture, Linda creates dynamic functional pieces allowing the viewer “to touch, to look more closely, to explore.”

Marilyn Palsha

After decades of making pots, Marilyn Palsha turned her focus to making figurative sculpture for the last ten years. These female figures express the challenges of aging, illness, facing fear, finding courage and finding peace. It is her hope that viewers will see their own narratives. The work is fired twice and designed to be enjoyed indoors.

Brent Arnold

An encaustic artist with his first featured show at FRANK, we are excited to have his pieces in this show. Brent creates a industrial vibe and rich luscious textures with his medium:

“Encaustic feels like putting on a perfectly worn pair of shoes, everything about it feels right. All of my thoughts and intentions are enhanced by the medium.”

“I realize now all of my work lies in-between two histories. My intent is to freeze a conversation and let the negative space between be the experience.”

Pearl Arnold

Designer and artist, Pearl Arnold is also featured for the first time in the upcoming exhibit. Working with a balance between structure and looseness, in soft muted palettes, Pearl draws her viewer in as they get lost in the wondery of her pieces.

Featured artists exhibit for April/May 2022
2022-04-05 00:00 - 2022-06-04 00:00 | NC
Featuring Bill McAllister, Peter Filene, Tim Walter, Ivana Milojevic Beck, and Julio de Alberdi
OPENING RECEPTION APRIL 8 FROM 5-7PM AT THE GALLERY
Welcome Spring with this exhibit featuring member artists Bill McAllister and Peter Filene, and guest artists Tim Walter, Ivana Milojevic Beck, and Julio de Alberdi. Join us at the gallery for the opening reception on April 8.

Bill McAllister
Member artist and incredibly accomplished photographer, Bill McAllister will be featuring his wonderful photography—”Whether the photograph is a created imagination, portrait or figure study; the permission and participation of those people photographed hopefully allows for an image that celebrates them.” Also stating; “Process is often integral. Whether using the ultra large format 20×24 inch Polaroid, homemade, infrared modified, or underwater cameras, each affect the path of image creation. Most force me to work with in a slower, more deliberate manner, helping to see past the readily apparent.”

Peter Filene
Constantly adding to his repertoire of accomplishments, Peter is a member artist of FRANK and highly creative photographer who is always re-inventing his medium. The body of work Peter will be exhibiting in this show will be his photocollages. Peter’s collages are dynamic, painterly, and abstract, and a really beautiful way of melding his different types of photography into a creative representation.

Featured artist and member of FRANK, Peter Filene talks about his latest artwork in the gallery, photocollages. Drawing from a desire to delve into a new creative form, Peter literally rips apart his own double-exposure photographs to create something new and exciting during this featured exhibit.

Tim Walter

FRANK is showing selections from Tim Walter’s series Portraits [Trauma]. These images give visual expression to internal emotions of the subjects’ experience of trauma in their lives, emotions such as fear, anger, resignation, and sometimes resolve and love. The large-scale photos straddle art and documentary. To create the pictures, he works with the subjects over four to eight hours, encouraging them to enter a state of flow so that imagery emerges at times from the unconscious. Tim is also an arts entrepreneur and advocate; he founded and runs The Fruit, a multi-dimensional art and performance venue in downtown Durham.

Ivana Milojevic Beck

The tension between Ivana’s Serbian and American identities is at the center of her struggle to mold a present existence into a future resolution between two disparate worlds, she says. “My focus is on generation of women in my family, my grandmother, my mother, my daughter and me. I work to portray the resilience, flexibility, and adaptability that has been passed down the line. I imagine female form, strong and balanced, resting as the foundational material for generations to come. I find parallels between structural, foundational home building and women’s physical and mental power as mother, wife, and daughter. Materials that I continue to use – brick, wax and mortar – remind me that what is strong and durable can also be vulnerable and ephemeral.”

Julio de Alberdi

Showcasing for the first time at FRANK, Julio was born in London, raised in Spain, and now currently living in Pittsboro. “While growing up in Spain and England, Julio worked for and assisted his father Joxe Alberdi, making large sculpture commissions for city centers, banks and private collections.” Julio’s sculptures are made up of wood, soap stone and mixed media and we are thrilled to showcase his work in this exhibit.

Featured artists exhibit for June/July 2022
2022-06-07 00:00 - 2022-07-30 00:00 | NC
Featuring Luna Lee Ray, Shelly Hehenberger, William Moore and Natalie Boorman

Luna Lee Ray

Working with both “randomness and intentionality,” mixed media and member artist Luna Lee Ray’s pieces are each delicately and precisely layered, in which she creates supremely ethereal and exquisite works inspired by the interplay of nature. In her own words; “The early stages of a piece involve active drawing, sometimes with my eyes closed. I then add multiple layers of thin and thick paints, adding more graphite between layers. As a piece moves on I will begin to add more complex forms and fine tune the color harmonics. As I layer, some elements are enhanced and some are obscured, resulting in an atmospheric surface rich with history, depth, and luminosity.”

Shelly Hehenberger

In an expertly skilled and unique technique, member artist Shelly Hehenberger masters her medium of oil and cold wax to create highly layered and textured pieces through a process that is months in the making. Directly inspired by the natural world, Shelly pieces are a stunning interpretation of how she views the ever-changing elements and movement of nature. Using a variety of tools, Shelly layers, carves, adds and subtracts with cold wax which, “reflects a sense of the creative tension existing between the constructive and deconstructive energies in nature, and is the essence of my process.”

William Moore
Guest artist and sculptor, William Moore works in a variety of sculptural elements, including marble, ceramic, stone, wood, and bronze to create imaginative and skillful works of art. “His blend of an obviously crisp, intimate familiarity with human form into impossible contortions of angular, stolid materials, mimics the natural forces Earth spent creating the elements.”

Natalie Boorman

Member and ceramic artist, Natalie Boorman hand builds each one of her vessels through the pinch pot technique of which the artist states, “Using this method is meditative, allowing me to relax with the clay, interact with it, forming a relationship which is not always consciously developed.” After creating her beautifully and organically formed pieces, Natalie uses smoke firing methods, either in a pit or raku kiln. The end result of the firing allows for the smoke to imprint on the vessels creating a delicate image and story of the items fired with the pieces, such as horse hair, ferns, or wire to name a few.

Featured artists exhibit for Aug/Sep 2022
2022-08-02 00:00 - 2022-09-17 00:00 | NC
Featuring member artists Austin Cathey and Donna Stubbs, and guest artists Thoryn Ziemba and John Cummings
Opening Reception August 12th 5-7pm

Donna Stubbs
Donna Stubbs is both a featured and member artist of FRANK. Her choices of mixed media such as acrylic paint, vintage books, photography, cut scraps of clothing, and tissue paper act as the protagonists in her pieces allowing the viewer to get immersed in the story she is telling. As the artist herself so eloquently states, “Working with abstraction allows me to intuitively play with imagery, texture and mark-making. Whimsical characters, text and suggestive forms often appear in the chaos of paint and line. A sense of place and time develops. A loud and quiet conversation take place, until a stillness is found. This evolution is central to balancing my art and how I know when the piece is completed.”

Austin Cathey
Austin Cathey is both a member artist and featured artist for the months of August and September. Austin was the inaugural candidate for FRANK’s Emerging Artist Program and has since graduated with his MFA and developing his artistic talents in really exciting and innovative directions. Austin experiments with mixed media techniques on hanging large pieces of thick paper. The artists tests the limits of his media by adding layers and layers of different elements which brings to the forefront the organic and fragile nature of the paper with intentional and exciting results.

John Cummings
Showing his incredible pieces at the gallery for the first time, we are thrilled to have the work of ceramic artist, John Cummings in this featured show. Based out of Asheville, John creates both small and very large ceramic vessels which are a testament to his mastery of his ceramic medium. Calling the surface decorations of his pieces “abstract expressionism”, John uses different tools, firing methods, and glazing techniques to create his pieces. Constantly experimenting and exploring clay, John’s work so beautifully tells a story of his relationship to the clay in forming the individual pieces.

Thoryn Ziemba
Showcasing his stunning glass pieces for the first time in the gallery FRANK is proud to be exhibiting the artistry of Thoryn Ziemba. Stating of his highly creative and exquisitely made pieces, “My method for doing this is by using a constructive technique with glass whereby I blend architectural references and the form of graffiti you may find on those same buildings to evoke the sense of humanity both display.”

R. Scott Horner

These paintings embrace the chaos and regularity, the calm entropy that pushes and pulls the world around us. By layering paint, old events are covered up, and sometimes rediscovered through transparency or scratch-throughs. The painting builds its own history, allowing viewers to discover many stories within it. The work in this exhibit showcases Scott’s recent focus on the dynamics of rocks and stones. While he avoids direct representation, the colors, forms and other influences from the stony creek that runs through Scott’s backyard are apparent.

Nerys Levy

Nerys Levy’s work is largely inspired by her on site drawings and paintings from all over the world. Her work on Polar Regions emanates from her “on site” work in the Antarctic and the Norwegian Arctic while her ongoing Italian and British works are inspired by annual visits to Italy and Britain. This show features paintings from her Italian series. Nerys Levy believes that witnessing and documenting antiquity and the forms and forces of nature at source bring an important “authentic” element to an art work.

Levy is always ”on duty” with sketch book and paints at hand, ever-ready to catch that line, color, light or moment – that even a camera could miss.

Gordon Jameson

Gordon Jameson is interested in the ongoing layering of life, ideas, history, personal stories, and mythologies. His visual conversation is like poetry, a whispered interval between the past and tomorrow, subtracting and adding, losing one thing but gaining something new. His images, while abstract, reference specific places, events, memories, moments in a day, or a road taken.

On the process of painting, Gordon says it “involves catharsis, seeking a balance and finding a concrete language for an idea that may be very fleeting – like holding fog in a crystal bowl.”

Eric Serritella

Known world-wide for his dramatically realistic clay work, Eric Serritella uncovers the beauty found in nature.

In 2021, Eric served as an artist in residence at Starworks Center for Creative Enterprise in North Carolina, exploring glass art.

This exhibit shows Eric’s expanding artistic repertoire that includes these beautiful pate de verre glass objects. He plays with a brilliant pallet of glass frits and pushes the material in new and exciting ways. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, cast in a plaster mold that is never used again.

Eric has received many awards, including the prestigious 2016 Distinguished Artist in Ceramics at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. He has been featured in numerous American and international art publications and been highlighted in the New York Times Arts section.

Lila Bacon

Painter Lila Bacon is inspired by the visual, and her interpretation of it. She describes space by placing emphasis on the world around an object, rather than the object, itself.

She says, “whether, I am painting a landscape, figure, or still life, finding the pattern of the scene allows me to create an internal and external rhythm or breath in a piece.”

Lila is an award winning artist who now lives in Carrboro, North Carolina. She concentrates on floral painting. She graduated from Parsons School of Design / The New School in 1973. She worked with her husband in a flourishing pottery business, then as proprietor of a wonderful American crafts gallery and website Sweetheart Gallery. She is the recipient of the Harriet Tannin award.

Ray captures the essence of the natural world, weaving together textures and hues that mirror the shifting landscapes of the earth. Through her mesmerizing compositions, she invites us to pause, reflect, and immerse ourselves in the boundless beauty of the world around us.

Natalie Boorman

Boorman’s creative journey revolves around the ancient techniques of pinch pottery, employing both pit firing and raku firing methods to bring her pieces to life. Her artistic vision is embodied in the organic essence of her creations, each bearing the distinctive allure of smokey hues and a cool, natural aesthetic. Through the transformative process of pit and raku firing, Boorman’s pottery transcends the ordinary, embracing the unpredictability of the elements to imbue her works with a timeless, earthy charm. Each of her pieces becomes a vessel of storytelling, echoing the whispers of ancient traditions while inviting contemplation and admiration for the raw beauty of nature.

Peter Filene

Photographer Filene’s mastery lies in the realm of double exposure and photo collages. With a deft hand and a discerning eye, Filene seamlessly blends multiple images to create visually captivating compositions and collages that transcend conventional boundaries. Each piece is a testament to his innovative approach, where layers of imagery intertwine with a painterly result. Through his art, Filene invites viewers to embark on a journey of exploration, where reality and imagination converge in a mesmerizing tapestry of visual storytelling. His work serves as a testament to the endless possibilities of photographic expression, inviting audiences to perceive the world through a lens of boundless creativity and innovation.

Jason Smith

Smith, an accomplished sculptor, transitioned from a distinguished career as a jewelry artist to pursue his passion for sculptural expression. In his artistic journey, sculpture has emerged as his primary focus, with a diverse exploration of mediums, yet metal remains his preferred material due to its strength, malleability, and inherent beauty. Smith’s sculptural works resonate with abstraction, where the manipulation of form and space takes center stage. Through the skillful interplay of rhythm, action, and movement, his compositions exude a sense of implied energy, inviting viewers to delve into the dynamic narratives woven within his work.

Adriana Ameigh

Known for her vibrant and colorful mixed media paintings and sculptures, Ameigh’s work exudes a dynamic energy that brings her pieces to life. With an innate understanding of color, Ameigh’s creations pulsate with vitality, captivating viewers with their kaleidoscopic brilliance. Through her art, she endeavors to create abstract paintings that strike a delicate balance between fluid movement, tactile textures, and uplifting hues. Each painting and every sculpted form invites exploration, revealing optimistic narratives that resonate with the essence of hope and possibility. Ameigh’s work serves as a testament to the transformative power of art, inspiring audiences to immerse themselves in the boundless realm of imagination and creativity.

Featuring Carol Retsch Bogart, Shelly Hehenberger, Linda Prager, and guest artists Doug Dotson and Jane Filer.

We’re holding a special closing reception for this show on May 10 from 6 pm -9 pm.

Carol Retsch Bogart

Carol’s love of collage and mixed media touches on all manner of materials. She’s experimented with textiles in recent years, and for this show, decided to dive deeper. In fact, six of the nine pieces are textiles.

“I am enthralled with textiles of other lands – from the silk kimonos of Japan to the cotton kantha cloth of India,” Carol said. She adds her own silkscreened cloth to the mix. She continues, “making marks, shapes, and images where none existed before forms a constant interplay between the materials and me.”

A former therapist, Carol has long been intrigued by the complicated nuances and layers of people’s lives, feelings and experiences. For this show she explores the layers of texture in cloth – some observable and some hidden – just as in our lives.

Shelly Hehenberger

Heavily applied textured layers of oil paint and cold wax mixtures help Shelly express her concept of “Earth Time.” That is the passively infinite movement of time which directs the path of all life.

Shelly’s goal is to invite you to contemplate Earth Time as you might approach the textural bark of a tree, or the persistent growth of stalactites in a cave, or the complexity of an ocean reef. These natural forms and patterns grow and reform like the layered surfaces of her paintings in this exhibit.

Shelly explains, “Through my work, I hope to remind the viewer (as well as myself) of our birthright connection to the mysterious expanse of Earth Time and to allow it to teach us a deeper way to live and breathe in this world.”

Linda Prager

Linda’s work is inspired by many things – architecture, nature, art in all its forms, and, the clay itself.

The pieces in this show express Linda’s reaction to the works of the other exhibiting artists. She explains, “I became excited thinking about how I could create work that would talk to, and connect with, their work.” Linda went with bolder, brighter color combinations for many of these piece, while some express softer, more muted colors to provide some quiet focus for the eyes, and to reflect Linda’s quieter thoughts.

As you look at Linda’s work, think about the layers of color and texture, and consider how that relates to the object’s form. These pieces are sculptural and beautiful, but they’re also functional vessels created for everyday use.

Jane Filer

In Jane’s work, you are transported to worlds of wonder and supernatural experiences. These colorful paintings tell stories rooted in what it means to be human.

Jane has made homes in North Carolina — at the beach and in the woods. She spends time in New Mexico and the Florida Keys. In her works, those environments are depicted in ethereal ways. She explains that her paintings, “are vehicles. They are equations and visual stories. They are teleportation beams, if you dare to take the ride. They are my offspring. They are what I have spent my life nurturing and putting out in the world.”

Doug Dotson

Doug creates pottery for daily use, looking to the simplicity and strength of natural forms for inspiration. He makes pots, “in a way that shows the marks of my hands, the tools I use, and the fire that transforms mud into pottery. I want the hardy, rustic feel and appearance of my pottery to be as grounding to the pot’s eventual owner as it is to me when I make it.”

Opening reception May 24 from 6-9 pm. There will also be a Second Friday reception on June 14.

Featuring Carroll Lassiter, Peg Bachenheimer, guest artists Deborah Harris, Judith Ernst, and Kathy Armacost.

Carroll Lassiter

Moving through the quiet areas of North Carolina, Carroll looks for that perfect moment when light and landscape meet. She notes the three stages of her art process:

First there is inspiration. A thrill or energy is generated by the angle of light, a particular form, a relationship of sky to ground.

Then the work begins in capture. Reaching to recreate the specific moment of sensory excitement.

And finally, magic happens when that delight is transmitted to the viewer.

More Info & Work

Peg Bachenheimer

Peg is an intuitive, abstract painter inspired by nature, memories, life and her feelings. She explains, “as I paint a memory or feeling emerges and becomes part of the process of building layers of color and texture. These memories are based on places I’ve been, music I’ve heard, people I’ve connected with and experiences I’ve had.”

Sometimes her work is abstract and sometimes landscape based. This series represents the emotional impact as she leaves her home of 37 years to find a new place and way to live. And, some of the paintings are about her feelings of grief and growing acceptance of the recent loss of her sister, Katharine.

More Info & Work

Deborah Harris

The whiteness of the clay body, black sgraffito imagery, along with the celadon glaze used by Deborah, creates work reminiscent of the Cizhou kilns from the Song Dynasty of China. Deborah is inspired and motivated by the designs of this time period – as they express the natural world with insects and plants along with mythical creatures.

Deborah believes hand crafted functional pottery serves an intimate connection between user and herself. Objects handled during everyday routines become familiar and comfortable. You have to see, hold and use her works to truly enjoy their unique beauty.

More Info & Work

Judith Ernst

Judith’s work as a ceramist focuses on the interplay of traditional forms and sculptural expression. She uses the vessel form conceptually because it has an inner dimension surrounded by an outer surface that interacts with the outside world.

She plays with this dichotomy in the wonderfully complex and alluring pieces on display in this exhibit. She explains that a closed form is naturally extroverted. But her vessels, with small openings to an interior, suggest an introversion – with a mysterious inner space.

The changing angles of the various connecting planes of her work leads the eye to the inside of the vessel, opening a dialogue between the vessel’s outer planes and inner spaces.

More Info & Work

Kathy Armacost

Kathy’s work is directed by nature, history, architecture, dreams, and everything else she comes in contact with. She explains, “I don’t always know how a painting starts; sometimes an image or color, texture, music or even a scent will stay with me and push me toward a beginning. I like to bring to the work all the contradictions, doubt and humor of the day.”

Her goal is to keep the work alive. And the atmospheric mystery that surrounds you when you stand before her pieces will draw you in to that living world.

Featuring Donna Stubbs and her collaborative sculptures with Brent Arnold, Theresa P-Tan and guest artists Sasha Bakaric and John Rosenthal.

Opening reception is July 12.

Donna Stubbs

Donna is inspired by found objects, bold color, vintage books, street photography, winter trees, and so much more. She intuitively explores contradictions and associations between abstract shapes, collage, mark-making and painting. A close examination of her work reveals many textured layers of acrylic paint, drawing marks, vintage paper, fabric and her photography. These accumulated materials represent a part of her own history and give the viewer a deeper sense of discovery.

More Info & Work

Theresa P-Tan

We like the way Theresa’s work freely moves from one medium to another. You’ll see paint, graphite, colored pencil collage and more working together in harmony. Her playful explorations in this exhibit come from her recent experiences in the Galápagos Islands. The results are wonderful landscape-like compositions that give you the perfect sense of the remote, natural and mysterious beauty found in those isles. For Theresa, these works also carry memories of her family and the area of the world where her people are from.

More Info & Work

Sasha Bakaric

Sasha’s inspiration comes from microscopic images of various cells and microorganisms – the basis of all life. She says she is intrigued by the dichotomy between the beauty of these images and the fears that people often have when faced with viruses or bacteria. “I love the idea of questioning our relationship with the micro world inside and around us.” As you look at Sashas beautiful work, you can image how each one is the result of a biological process where its images and forms spontaneously develop.

John Rosenthal

The striking photography that John presents to us is both salutation and awe. He considers his landscape photographs to be salutations. “Camera in hand, this is all I have to offer. The event before my eyes, in its unboundedness, is ultimately unknowable. It cannot be captured by a photograph, but it can be saluted – the illusive stillness of its being.” To John, the ocean is another matter. It is the Mother, the Destroyer. To try to capture its power in a photograph is both absurd and tempting.

Featuring member artists R. Scott Horner, Kaidy Lewis and guest artists John Parkinson and Fabrizio Bianchi.

Opening Reception: August 23 from 6-9 pmCoffee with FRANK live painting by Horner and Lewis: September 7 at 10 amSpecial Talk on ART and AI by Horner: September 18 at 6 pm

R. Scott Horner

Scott’s paintings in this exhibit come from a series called Water on Stones. He captures the essence of the water/stone duality with exciting marks and shapes that delivers a pleasing presence. For Scott, water creates and destroys. It also distorts our vision. In one glance we see a refracted view of what’s below and a reflection of what’s above. Stones record the flow of water and time. Each mark reports past events. Sharp edges and hard angles tell of quick, violent actions. Round, smooth areas show the erosion of centuries of moving water.

More Info & Work

Kaidy Lewis

Kaidy presents us with complex compositions that hint at a human presence. In her new series of paintings, the artist contemplates the increasing number of multiverses we are able to experience. The subjects of her semi-abstract paintings are both familiar and strange. You’ll notice inanimate objects as well as suggestions of people. In her work, Kaidy uses bold and gestural marks that both subvert reality and describe it at the same time.

More Info & Work

Fabrizio Bianchi

Fabrizio’s work is his expression of what he calls a Venn diagram radiating from traversing ovals of duality. They represent his view of North and Latin American cultures, digital and traditional art, tranquility and chaos, and precision and spontaneity. His tools include inks and wood burning which results in compositions that “cannot exist without the synchronous blend and clash of fire and water.” Look closely and you may see echos of cultures that shaped Fabrizio: graffiti in Buenos Aires, Argentina; the imaginary landscapes of Italian futurists, Chilean Surrealist Roberto Matta; and the timeless writings of Jorge Luis Borges.

John Parkinson

The wood furniture pieces John builds show clean elegant lines, incorporating quiet details and accents that enhance visual vitality. He uses traditional hand tools and machinery to craft these beautiful and functional works of art. John says his “deepest satisfaction comes from designing a piece that both the owner and viewer find useful and interesting.”

Featuring Bill McAllister, Susan Finer and guest artists Peg Gignoux and Karli Pendergraft. With a special exhibit curated by Joe Grant, director of Starworks Glass and featuring the work of Takuro Shibata, director of Starworks ceramics and Mac Metz, director of Starworks metals. Also in this exhibit we’ll feature FRANK in Focus in association with the Triangle-Wide photography festival CLICK, to celebrate the wonderful photographers of FRANK.

Opening Reception September 27, 6-9 pm

Bill McAllister

In Huangshan, China, Bill photographed the magic of that area’s natural wonders. His photos are presented in the manner of 8th century Chinese ink paintings depicting this most special place. Bill uses his expert eye in capturing the landscape, always finding interesting textures, engaging compositions and dreamy atmospherics.

Susan Finer

For Susan, beauty is found in the imperfections of rough tree bark, plush moss, peeling paint and rusted metal. You can find this wondrous splendor in what she calls her “tactile memories.” Her intuitive abstract fiber art constructs a diverse terrain stitch by stitch, knot by knot, and layer by layer. She creates worlds where organic and linear, chaotic and ordered come together, where ragged rips, untidy snippets, and messy protrusions meet up with orderly lines and grids.

Karli Pendergraft

Pendergraft has spent much of her life immersed in the natural world, drawing inspiration from its intricate patterns and subtle energies. She uses clay to translate her observations into tangible forms. She draws inspiration from diverse natural phenomena such as mycelium networks, branching root systems, oceanic life, and cellular structures. Her art gives you a space for reflection and wonder, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the delicate and profound rhythms of nature.

Joe Grant

Joe is the Glass Director for Starworks. In his “Gossamers” series, Joe blows the glass extremely thin, stretching the colors until they begin to fall apart. Balanced between refined form and a loss of control, these works celebrate the joys of color and the transformative qualities of glass to look and feel like fabric and textiles. Joe also collaborates with metalsmith Mac Metz to make abstracted glass flowers that transition carefully to the graceful lines of their stainless steel stems.

Mac Metz

Director of the metal studio at Starworks, Mac works primarily with metal, stone, glass and wood to create work that conveys allegorical references to past events and specific scientific principles. Looking at his work, you see the push and pull of materials: soft wood next to cold steel and transparent glass paired with solid stone. His beautiful sculptures have been exhibited in Estonia, Finland and Japan, and we are very excited to see this work at FRANK.

Takuro Shibata

Since becoming the director of Starworks Ceramics, Takuro started researching local clays. His work beautifully presents the transformation of wild clay — untouched and raw, with kilns fired with wood from local sawmills and the surrounding land. These magical ceramic pieces appear to grow and move, echoing the capriciousness of the natural world.

Marguerite Jay Gignoux

Marguerite’s stitched canvases hold small and large marks with layers of textile ink coloring lengths of linen. This sturdy cloth holds the history of her French-American family. Dropping in a few sweeping and crooked stitched lines suggests a setting; a garden, a dwelling, a path. These minimal shapes and washes of color invite you into Marguerite’s idyllic world.

Join us as we ring in the new year with featured artists Gordon Jameson, Ley Killeya, and guest furniture maker Pete Rodrigues.

Opening Reception January 17, 6-9 pm

Gordon Jameson

An established abstract painter, Gordon relies on strong color and compositions of unique shapes. Much of his work’s narrative references western interpretations of Christian imagery, primarily the Annunciation and Enthroned Madonna. And so the figure emerges in Gordon’s paintings, shifting his works slightly away from complete abstraction.

Ley Killeya

Ley uses acrylic paint, ink, and gold metallic leaf to create her abstract figurative paintings. She focuses on the use of line and composition to represent parts of the body, adding unexpected dashes of color to break the surface and disturb expectations. Elements of gold leaf indicate the value we and others place on them. Her work helps us consider how our bodies, and the perceptions of them, confer power, limit rights, exercise control, and interrogate identity.

Pete Rodrigues

Pete crafts his fine furniture with a focus on both function and natural beauty. And within each piece of wood he sees similarities to human faults in the material’s cracks, twist, bows and rough cut edges. However, when worked by the master craftsman, the wood can be turned into something beautiful.

The gallery is featuring member artists Luna Lee Ray and Peg Bachenheimer, and guest artists Karli Pendergraft and William Moore.

Also on exhibit is a special selection of works by Cameroon artist Jean Michel Dissake.

Opening reception is on Feb. 21

Luna Lee Ray

Take 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.

Peg Bachenheimer

An 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.

Karli Pendergraft

Karli’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.

William Moore

These 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.

Jean Michel Dissake

Cameroonian 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.

Sculptural Works

Special exhibition lecture and short-film viewing on March 13 > LEARN MORE

Cameroonian 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.

Informed 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.

These 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.

Babenga 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.

Dissake 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.
