SUMMARY:Off the Wall Fundraising Gala
DESCRIPTION:FRANK’s signature fundraising event is well-known for its excitement\, spectacular selection of art\, and community roots. Join us in our 12th year as we support FRANK Gallery’s mission to enrich our community through art. \nWhen is the Gala? Saturday\, October 8th\, 2022 at 6 p.m. Eastern for Zoom and no later than 5:15pm for in person \nHow does it work? With the purchase of an Art Ticket\, the ticket holder’s name is entered into a pool with other art ticket holders at the beginning of the night. When the drawing starts\, the names of art ticket holders will be drawn at random (this is the fun part!) and read out loud by our emcee\, local radio personality\, Aaron Keck. Once your name is called\, you’ll have one minute to choose your favorite piece of art “off the wall” to take home. It gets exciting as you never know what the next piece to go will be! This year we will be hosting the event hybrid\, meaning we will be offering a limited amount of art and companion tickets for guests to attend in person! The in person guests will enjoy catered dinner from the exquisitely talented Alan Dehmer as well as able to partake in an open bar. \nThere will be over 70 pieces of donated art (from our generous artists!) all valued at more than the price of a ticket! We invite you to see all the artwork ahead time in two ways\, in-gallery or online. Visit the gallery the week before the event to see all the donated art hanging and soon we’ll start adding previews of donated art on our website\, updated with new art as we receive it — so check back often! \nWhere? The Gala will be held at the gallery and be live broadcast via Zoom for attendees who want to enjoy art and gourmet food in the comfort and safety of their home.  \nHow much are tickets? Tickets for virtual attendance are $395 for two people for one piece of art. Prices for art ticket holders in-person will be $450 and an additional $75 for a companion. Each in-person art ticket and companion ticket will receive one piece of art\, and will partake in a catered dinner. \nWe would love if you could join us from anywhere in the country and are happy to ship you the piece of art you win at an additional cost.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Featured artists exhibit for September-November
DESCRIPTION:Featuring member artists Nerys Levy\, Carroll Lassiter\, and guest artists Patricia Saling and John Parkinson\nOpening Reception October 14th 5-7pm \n*PLEASE NOTE THE POSTPONED DATE BECAUSE OF IMPENDING WEATHER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile also being stunning depictions of the natural world\, Nerys Levy’s featured work is focusing on two major issues confronting planet Earth right now\, climate change and the COVID 19 pandemic. Nerys Levy is a plein air artist\, traveling all around the world to capture the essence of the world we live in\, in her unique and beautiful style. Her works in this exhibit on the Arctic and Antarctic are based on sketches she made there when visiting those Polar regions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarroll Lassiter is a plein air artist capturing the incredible views we have in our backyard here in North Carolina with her oil paints. Carrroll’s attention to detail is meticulous\, capturing the light and spirit of the place she is painting. Each of Carroll’s paintings transport the viewer to a familiar place or familiar feeling wrapping each viewer in the warmth of the light she captures. Adding to her exquisite pieces are her hand-forged custom steel frames on each one of her paintings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatricia Saling is a guest artist for this show\, but she has been a wonderful asset to the gallery for years. Patricia is continually experimenting with clay and glazes and glaze application making each new collection of her work intriguing and exciting. Making functional vessels is often the core of her pottery making\, allowing each hand picking up and using her pottery\, another part of the history of the ceramic pieces. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Parkinson is an incredibly talented woodworker and furniture maker. With a remarkable eye for detail and design\, John creates pieces that are functional and enhance one’s home. Mixing a design esthetic of contemporary design and craftsmanship with techniques of Danish cord weaving John creates a unique style of his own design with his stunning one of a kind pieces.

SUMMARY:Featured artists exhibit for Aug/Sep 2022
DESCRIPTION:Featuring member artists Austin Cathey and Donna Stubbs\, and guest artists Thoryn Ziemba and John Cummings \nOpening Reception August 12th 5-7pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Stubbs\nDonna 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.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAustin Cathey\nAustin 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Cummings\nShowing 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThoryn Ziemba\nShowcasing 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.”

SUMMARY:Featured artists exhibit for June/July 2022
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Luna Lee Ray\, Shelly Hehenberger\, William Moore and Natalie Boorman \n\n\n\n\n\nLuna Lee Ray\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking 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.” \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShelly Hehenberger\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 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.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam Moore\nGuest 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.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNatalie Boorman\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember 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.

SUMMARY:Featured artists exhibit for April/May 2022
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bill McAllister\, Peter Filene\, Tim Walter\, Ivana Milojevic Beck\, and Julio de Alberdi\nOPENING RECEPTION APRIL 8 FROM 5-7PM AT THE GALLERY\nWelcome 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. \n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill McAllister\nMember 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.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Filene\nConstantly 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim Walter\n\n\n\nFRANK 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIvana Milojevic Beck\n\n\n\nThe 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.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulio de Alberdi\n\n\n\nShowcasing 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.

SUMMARY:Featured artists exhibit for February/March 2022
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Carol Retsch-Bogart\, Linda Prager\, Brent Arnold \, Pearl Arnold and Marilyn Palsha\nOPENING RECEPTION FEBRUARY 11TH FROM 5-7PM\nWe 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. \nCarol Retsch-Bogart\nMember 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. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinda Prager\n\n\n\nA 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.” \n\n\n\nMarilyn Palsha\n\n\n\nAfter 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. \n\n\n\nBrent Arnold\n\n\n\nAn 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: \n\n\n\n“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.” \n\n\n\n“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.” \n\n\n\nPearl Arnold\n\n\n\nDesigner 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.
