SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for September/October 2020
DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Peg Bachenheimer\, Lew Graham\, Paul Hrusovsky\, Ronan Peterson \nSEPTEMBER 8TH-NOVEMBER 14TH \nStarting on September 8th\, FRANK Gallery will be displaying a beautifully curated exhibit featuring the paintings of FRANK member artist\, Peg Bachenheimer\, mixed media of Lew Graham\, painting/mixed media of Paul Hrusovsky\, and the ceramics of Ronan Peterson. \nPeg Bachenheimer’s newest paintings are oil and cold wax medium as well as acrylic on canvas. With an impressionist quality with a pleasing and soft color palette Peg’s graceful and beautiful paintings are light filled\, glowing abstracts and abstract landscapes. Perfecting her use of her medium\, Peg is able to create a textural surface with depth that highlights her choice of colors. \nWorking with the encaustic medium on birch panels\, Lew Graham’s latest work in the gallery is a highly luminescent and tranquil journey for its viewer. “Deepen” is a series of mixed media pieces made by combining many layers and working with a neutral color palette; pops of colors shine through ever so delicately but oh so alluring. \nPaul Hrusovsky’s current body of work is a nod to “childhood memories of play\, ceremony\, and reflection.” Working with metallic and mixed-media materials on canvas\, his latest work is inspired by objects and textures from the natural world. With a rich and lush color palette and working with layers of color that are “stenciled\, painted\, layered and taken away\,” Paul’s work is not only captivating with colorful metallic nuances and layers but there is a beautiful depth to his paintings from his layering technique. \nCreating his own quintessential style that is both whimsical and highly sophisticated\, Ronan Peterson’s ceramics are very sought-after and shown across the country. Using red earthenware clay\, Ronan’s work though artistic and creative\, are functional sculptures for every day use. Drawing inspiration from\, “processes of growth and decay in the natural world and translated into a ceramic comic book interpretation of both real and imagined phenomena.” Every piece of Ronan’s ceramics are a combination of textures\, colors\, and patterns making each piece bewitching and one of a kind. \nWe hope that you can stop in to see this incredible exhibit when we open from on Tuesday\, September 8th and visit the gallery with our hours of operation from Tuesday-Saturday from 12-5pm. If you would prefer to visit the gallery by appointment please contact our gallery manager\, Natalie Knox at info@frankisart.com to schedule.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for July/August 2020
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Charlie Dupee\, Susan Finer\, Rosalie Midyette\, Theresa Pastoriza-Tan \nJULY 9TH-SEPTEMBER 5TH \nPlease join us on July 9th for the new exhibit in the gallery featuring Charlie Dupee\, Susan Finer\, Rosalie Midyette\, and Theresa Pastoriza-Tan. In their debut featured show at the gallery\, FRANK is excited to showcase the work of the four artists in a highly creative and stunning exhibit showcasing a variety of mediums. \nCharlie Dupee has been the “emerging apprentice artist” at FRANK for the last year\, and as a cumulation of the program with the gallery\, Charlie will be the featured artist for the July and August exhibit. Creativity knows no bounds with the artists current body of work\, combining his own life experiences\, experimentation with materials\, systematic racism\, and the playfulness of color\, Charlie is able to visually tell a story with a supremely unique and creative approach. In his own words; “Unquestioned intuition\, capitalism\, and the KKK have influenced my current work direction: queer\, kitsch American-nonsense.” FRANK is really proud of Charlie and excited that he will be staying around town to start his MFA program with UNC in the Fall. \nShowing for the first time at FRANK\, Susan Finer\, is a fiber and mixed media artist. Susan draws inspiration from …“ ancient craft 20th century masters of painting\, sculpture\, illustration\, textiles\, and music; and textures found in nature.” Combining fabric pieced and stitched together\, both hand and machine stitched\, Susan creates elegant abstract fiber works mixing purposeful and organic stitchery in a muted color palette often with pops of color. \nAlso exhibiting for the first time at FRANK is ceramic artist Rosalie Midyette. Drawing directly from her background of growing up in North Carolina and being inspired by a childhood spent playing in creeks and the woods\, Rosalie’s sculptures are organically shaped with lustruous\, pearly mica finished. Rosalie’s sense of tranquility and calmness when creating each piece comes through when viewing her work\, each with a sensuous finish and rounded form evokes feelings of her life experiences. \nA favorite artist during the last holiday show\, Theresa Pastoriza-Tan will be a featured artist for the first time at FRANK for this July/August exhibit. A member of the Durham Art Guild\, Theresa’s mixed media work is as much about the end result as the process itself. Ethereal abstract landscape’s with a luscious color palate often dabbed with bits of gold and bright colors and using a variety of materials all lead to a beautiful\, dreamy work of art. \nWe hope that you can visit this exceptional exhibit when it will be up from July 9th-September 5th. We will be practicing safety and health precautions in the gallery and in doing so will not be having an opening reception nor in-gallery artist talks.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for March/June 2020
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Carroll Lassiter\, Nerys Levy\, and John Parkinson  \nMARCH 10TH-JUNE 28TH \nPlease join us on March 10th for the newest exhibit at FRANK featuring member artists and painters\, Carroll Lassiter and Nerys Levy and guest artist furniture maker John Parkinson. Carroll and Nerys spend a lot of time working in “plein air\,” or painting outside. Though each artist approaches their techniques differently they are able to capture their natural subjects with beautiful results. For the first time showing at FRANK\, the gallery is excited to have the exquisite work of John Parkinson. \nA longtime member of FRANK\, Welsh native\, Nerys Levy is no stranger to travel and has found herself painting all over the world. “I work on site in mixed media watercolor documenting the planet’s diverse landscapes–ancient forms\, animals\, Polar Regions\, Welsh Mountains\, Italian cityscapes\, North Carolina\, and the like\,” says the artist. The March/April exhibit will be no different in that respect but the subject matter will encompass her more recent trip to Jamaica. Revisiting her time in the British organization Voluntary Service Overseas\, Nerys captures the ethereal beauty of the scenery of Jamaica with her distinctive\, graphic quality mixed with the saturated earthly colors of the beach. She has also worked extensively in Italy and this exhibit features interiors of many of Italian churches. \nFRANK member\, Carroll Lassiter grew up in Edenton\, which continually inspires her paintings of North Carolina’s scenery. There is something so familiar about her paintings\, each transporting you to the place that she is capturing with her brush. The familiar solitude of an empty barn we see as we drive by\, a a memory of a lush landscape of a wild field\, the ordinary scene of a road made extraordinary by the feeling and exactness Carroll paints. With her signature welded steel\, polished frames\, Carroll is able to add a stunning finish to her enchanting landscapes. \nSpecializing in functional furniture with “clean elegant lines\, incorporating quiet details and accents to enhance visual vitality” John Parkinson will be showcasing his work at FRANK for the first time. Originally from England\, John’s love of woodworking started from a very young age being taught by his father. After honing his skills and starting his business\, John Parkinson Furniture\, John has gone on to have his work recognized by magazines\, national art shows and of course gracefully adorne the homes of his clients. We are thrilled to have his beautiful work in our gallery and hope you can stop in to see it. Click on the link below to see more of John’s work and visit his website. \nPlease consider attending one of the events surrounding this incredible exhibit. The show will run from March 10th-May 2nd\, the opening reception originally scheduled for Friday\, March 13th has been postponed. The artist talk is still currently scheduled for Friday\, April 10th from 6-8pm but we will inform you of any changes. Light refreshments will be provided and event is free.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for January/February 2020
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Shelly Hehenberger\, Luna Lee Ray\, and R.J. Dobs  \nJANUARY 7TH-MARCH 7THOPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY\, JANUARY 10TH 6-8PMARTIST TALK: FRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 7TH 6-8PM \nWe are starting 2020 with a new exhibit! Featuring the work of member and mixed media artists Shelly Hehenberger and Luna Lee Ray as well as the work of guest sculptor\, R.J.Dobs. Inspired by nature\, all three of the featured artists have a unique interpretation on how they see the living world that surrounds us. \nWorking with a mixed media technique of building many layers of sheer and semi-opaque colors and direct printing with handmade stamps and free drawing\, Luna encapsulates a nuanced and ethereal approach to her interpretation of “the interplay of air\, water\, and light\, trying to capture a sense of the intangible: sunshine and mist in an abstract way.” With a delicate color palette that is injected with a spark of brightness\, the viewer is easily transfixed and transported into a dreamlike state. \nTypically and expertly working with cold wax medium\, Shelly Hehenberger is able to create highly textural surface with layers and layers of cold wax. When looking at Shelly’s work it is astonishing to see the command\, artistray\, and perfection she has over her chosen media in depicting her interpretation of the natural world. In Shelly’s most recent art\, she’s been working with mixed media on paper. Using the more dynamic and porous 100% cotton rag paper rather than using conventional wood pulp paper\, Shelly was able to experiment with all kinds of different items from frozen blueberries to coffee to more typical artistic materials in order to achieve the incredibly spectacular results of mixed media work.Being a featured artist in a FRANK exhibit for the first time\, we are thrilled to showcase the beautiful sculptures of RJ Dobs. Evoking the spirit of the earth and nature\, RJ carves and grinds into sandstone\, granite\, and found stones to create pieces with “non-symmetry that have inherent balance.” With a feeling that the stone sculptures are picked straight from the earth\, RJ combines his creativity and artistry to the organic pieces for a beautiful collection of work. \nPlease join us to see this beautiful exhibit which will run from January 7th to March 7th. The opening reception will be Friday\, January 10th from 6-8pm and the artist talk will be Friday\, February 7th from 6-8pm. Light refreshments will be provided and event is free.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for October/November 2019
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Peter Filene and Bill McAllister \nOCTOBER 8TH-NOVEMBER 10THOPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 11TH 6-8PMARTIST TALK: SATURDAY\, OCTOBER 26TH 10-11AM \nThe months of October/November will be celebrating the work of accomplished FRANK members and photographers\, Peter Filene and Bill McAllister. Both artists approach the medium of photography in their own highly skilled and creative way. \nOn exhibit by Peter Filene will be his latest series in photocollage as well as his double-exposure photography.  Photocollage is a technique whereby the artist tears up his photographs and assembles the pieces together in order to take a new photograph. This in turn gives his imagery a new life as well as a striking and imaginative result. 
 For his double-exposure on film photographs\, Peter first takes a photo in an urban landscape or in a museum setting. He then cocks the shutter without advancing the film\, and takes another photo of a subject that he hopes will harmonize with the first. The effect is a masterful\, painterly image\, one not easily replicated\, which Peter eloquently describes as “a marriage of intention and chance.” \nBill McAllister’s work for this fall exhibit is a series of Cyanotype photographs. In images taken with an underwater camera\, Bill explores how the reflection and refraction of light in water interplays with and abstracts the floating human figure. Printing these shots in the Cyanotype process enhances an ethereal and otherworldly feeling of his underwater work\, making the printing process integral to the imagery itself. \nWe hope that you can visit the gallery during this exceptional show and for the opening reception on October 11th and the Artist Talk led by Peter Filene and Bill McAllister on October 26th.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for August/September 2019
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Katherine Armacost\, Nikki Blair\, Natalie Boorman\, Marguerite Jay Gignoux\, Linda Prager & Carol Retsch-Bogart \nSHOW WILL RUN FROM AUGUST 6TH-OCTOBER 5THRECEPTION: FRIDAY\, AUGUST 9TH\, 6-8PMMUSIC SALON: SUNDAY\, SEPTEMBER 8TH\, 6-7PMARTIST TALK: THURSDAY\, SEPTEMBER 12TH\, 6-8PM \nThe months of August and September will be a celebration of a diverse and extremely talented group of females artists entitled 6@FRANK. This exciting exhibit will showcase paintings by member artists and ceramicists Natalie Boorman and Linda Prager\, guest ceramic artist Nikki Blair\, mixed media work by member Carol Retsch-Bogart\, paintings by Katherine Armacost and textile work by Marguerite Jay Gignoux. \nPlease join us on Friday\, August 9th 6-8pm for the opening of “6 @ FRANK” the new exhibit for August/September. Live music by Red Nucleus! Refreshments will be provided. Event is free. As a special treat\, on Sunday\, September 8th\, the group “Sail Away Ladies” made up of Linda Prager and her musical partners\, Irene Felsman and Mitzi Quint will be putting on a musical salon from 6-7pm. The artist talk will be on Thursday\, September 12th\, from 6-8pm. We hope to see you all for one or all of these events!Katherine Armacost’s oil paintings are inspired by the world around her\, letting her imagination and her creativity take the lead\, Katherine has a dialogue with her paintings that often end in a different way then they have begun. Having her work in private collections all over the world is a true testament to the universality of her incredible work. \nNikki Blair is currently an Associate Professor in Ceramics at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her ceramic work is bold and graphic\, often working with a slab technique in building her pieces\, she creates large scale vessels that are functional and fantastical. In describing her aesthetic she says\, “my work harks back to the shiny bright futurism of post WWII architecture and product design.” Nikki has had her work displayed in museums and galleries across the country. \nHand building her work through the pinch pot method\, Natalie Boorman\, forms clay as almost a meditative experience\, taking each step of the process as a way to build a relationship with her vessels. Natalie then finishes her pots with burnishings\, bisque firing\, raku and pit firing. The added smokiness of the final product returns the story of the clay back to a new beautiful organic form. \nHaving a multitude of talents and media to her name\, Marguerite Jay Gignoux\, the current work of Marguerite (Peg) really showcases the creativity she has with textile and fiber art. Using the textures\, shapes and colors from fabrics and paper to form the base of her work\, through collage she then brings it all together with intricate hand stitching and weaving to create intensely beautiful and imaginative works. \nWhile also being talented in many different arenas and artistic media\, Linda Prager’s ceramic work will be highlighted in the August/September show. Handbuilding and working often with the slab technique\, Linda is constantly inspired by the use of objects around her to create interesting and dynamic textures in her clay. The pieces she creates are both architectural and organic in form and design. Linda calls her pieces functional vessels\, and she uses layers of colors and textures to enhance their shapes\, and also to draw the viewers’ eyes into the surface. \nCarol Retsch-Bogart is always challenging herself as an artist; Carol often uses textiles\, encaustic medium\, paper\, and pigments to create her stunning mixed-media pieces.Instead of making the materials conform to her work\, Carol works with the materials and makes them truly shine. Marrying originality and purpose\, Carol’s finished pieces are always alluring and unique.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for June/July 2019
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Berkeley Grimball\, Jim Lux\, Jim Oleson\, Mary Stone Lamb and Phillip Welch \nSHOW WILL RUN FROM JUNE 11TH-AUGUST 3RDRECEPTION: FRIDAY\, JUNE 14TH\, 6-8PMARTIST TALK: JULY 12TH\, 6-8PM \nThe June/July Exhibition at FRANK will be highlighting the work of member artists Mary Stone Lamb and Jim Oleson as well as guest artists Berkeley Grimball\, Jim Lux\, and Phillip Welch. This diverse exhibit will showcase the art of the five talented artists and their mediums of encaustic wax\, wood\, ceramic\, and jewelry. \nHaving a background representing a multitude of artistic styles\, Mary Stone Lamb is currently working with the encaustic wax medium. Through encaustics Lamb is able to create beautiful\, abstract pieces with rich textures and a structural quality. Rather than trying to fight the nature of encaustic wax\, Lamb has perfected working with the medium to create sumptuous\, textural pieces which encapsulate a type of depth often not found with other mediums. \nWith a brilliant body of work in functional wood furniture\, Jim Oleson has more recently taken the design quality of his furniture and implemented it into creating remarkable sculptures. A commonality with all of Oleson’s work is his exceptional designs and his incredibly high level of craftsmanship. We are thrilled to be presenting his newest designs for this highly anticipated exhibit. \nBerkeley Grimball\, owner of Grimball Jewelers a Chapel Hill institution\, will be showcasing his beautifully handcrafted and inventive jewelry. Drawing on his long career as a designer\, jewelry maker\, as well as his background as a musician\, Grimball uses parts of instruments to create exceptional and finely crafted pieces of wearable art. \nWith a unique process combining time tested techniques and his own personal methods\, Jim Lux creates beautiful pieces of pottery with distinctive finishes.  Building his pieces with coils of clay pinched together and then expertly smoothed and finished by hand\, Lux then fires his pieces in an electric kiln followed by covering his pieces in organic material and lit on fire. This interesting process creates fascinating surface textures which are made even the more fascinating when finished with wax and metallic powders. \nBelieving that form and function are inseparable\, Phillip Welch creates “art as furniture.” With precision\, individuality and utility\, Welch builds pieces that stand the test of time but with a unique twist. For the first time showing at FRANK gallery\, please help us in celebrating his work. We look forward to sharing this exciting exhibit with the public and hope to see you at the opening reception on June 14th\, from 6-8pm and Artist Talk on July 12th\, from 6-8pm.

SUMMARY:Featured Artists Exhibit for April/May 2019
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Keith Allen\, Ben Hamburger\, Kaidy Lewis and Carolyn Rugen \nSHOW WILL RUN FROM APRIL 9TH-JUNE 8THRECEPTION: FRIDAY\, APRIL 12TH\, 6-8PMARTIST TALK: FRIDAY\, MAY 10TH\, 6-8PM \nStarting on April 9th FRANK gallery will have an exhibit featuring the work of Keith Allen\, Ben Hamburger\, Kaidy Lewis and Carolyn Rugen. This exciting\, colorful exhibit will showcase the differences in technique and nuanced approach to their mediums these artists share and will make up a beautifully curated show celebrating landscape\, the abstract and woodworking. \nCreating works of functional furniture art\, self-taught Keith Allen really gives detailed attention to the subtleties in the wood and highlights the natural elements of his chosen material. His striking pieces often use butterfly joints inspired by George Nakashima and he brings out the beautiful grain in his wood work by using geometric and brightly colored features drawing inspiration from Gerrit Rietveld. Painter Ben Hamburger combines his passion for social engagement and the ever-changing world around us with the visual arts to represent a diverse range of subject matter. No matter what his subject\, all his paintings share his fluid brush strokes and captivating color palette as will be seen with his plein air landscapes in April. One of FRANK’s newest members painter\, Kaidy Lewis\, draws inspiration from the world around her to create vivid\, colorful interpretations of her subject matter. Often times\, Kaidy simply hints at the objects she is representing to allow the viewer to make their own distinctions\, but she does so with skill and interjecting bits of humor. With effortlessness and sophistication\, Carolyn Rugen\, paints her perception of the living world around her. Capturing landscapes and still life’s in the abstract she allows her viewer to interpret her beautifully rendered light filled imagery how they see giving significance to the seemingly every day. \nPlease join us on Friday\, April 12th from 6-8pm to celebrate the work of these four talented artists with an opening reception with live music by Griffanzo. Refreshments will be provided. Also\, on Friday\, May 12th from 6-8pm the artists of the April/May Exhibit will be giving a talk about their techniques and the work from their current collection\, light refreshments will be provided.
