Talk: Sacred Dimensions

The Art of Divine Form & Resonance in Indian Spiritual Science

Join us in FRANK for a talk by guest speaker, owner of Muses Card Shop, Abhi Sivadas. This talk explores the profound spiritual science embedded in Indian art, sculpture, and architecture, where form, symbolism, and geometry converge as pathways to elevate our consciousness. In Indian tradition, art is a sacred practice��not only an aesthetic endeavor but a transformative one that bridges the earthly and the divine. Through carefully crafted proportions, intentional geometry, and cosmic resonance, ancient Indian art becomes a language of the Atman (inner self ).

In this presentation, we will uncover the wisdom passed down by the ancient sages, focusing on three core aspects foundational to Indian spiritual science in art and architecture:

1. The Grammar and Language of Divine FormsIndian sacred art and architecture are deeply symbolic, using intricate geometries and sacred symbols to convey spiritual meanings. Each curve, line, and form has purpose, designed to connect us to the cosmos and awaken our Atman, the inner Self. Through this lens, we’ll explore the language of divine forms and how their careful design shapes our interaction with the higher realms.

2. Understanding Proportions for Divine FormsAt the heart of divine Art , architecture and sculpture lies sacred mathematical precision. These proportions are more than visual guidelines; they are rooted in cosmic alignment, bringing the structures and forms into resonance with universal order. By following these proportions, ancient artisans created sculptures and temples that do not simply represent divinity but embody its vibration, inviting viewers to experience a harmony that uplifts the spirit.

3. Creating a Healing Space with Cosmic VibrationsBeyond their visual beauty, Indian temples and divine sculptures are built to emit healing vibrations. Crafted through intentional spatial arrangements and spiritual geometry, these spaces cultivate peace, balance, and inspiration. This segment will explore how spiritual architecture and sculpture are designed to resonate with transformative energies, elevating the viewer’s experience to one of profound peace and interconnectedness.

Abhi Sivadas is the owner of My Muses Card Shop in Carrboro, and a passionate creator of sanctuary spaces that resonate with divine harmony. Born into a family of temple builders in South India, Abhi has dedicated the past decade to studying with master builders and temple architects in India. His research focuses on ancient power centers and the effects of sacred architecture and alignment on our energy field and heart space.

Specializing in the Vedic building manuals of ancient India, Abhi uses this codified knowledge of frequency and resonance to design and align vibrant spaces, homes, and communities that promote well-being. Alongside his work in architecture, Abhi is an artist who shares his knowledge with other enthusiasts through workshops, seminars, and hands-on experimentation, inspiring others to explore the intersection of art, spirituality, and sacred design.

Featured Artists Exhibit Jan/Feb 2025
2025-01-07 00:00 - 2025-02-15 23:59
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.

Featured Artists Exhibit Feb/Mar 2025
2025-02-18 00:00 - 2025-03-29 23:59
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.

Featured Artists Exhibit Apr/May 2025
2025-04-01 00:00 - 2025-05-17 23:59
The gallery is featuring the work of photographers Peter Filene and Dan Gottlieb, and woodworker Keith Allen.

Opening Reception on April 11.

Peter Filene

In this vibrant series, Peter grapples with personal identities behind portraiture. He asks, “what is a portrait?” For the past two years, Peter has been collaging torn pieces of his previous photos to create new images. Does a photograph of a woman, set against a collaged background, portray her? When you look at Peter’s almost-abstract figures, do you see portraits?

Dan Gottlieb

The dream-like landscapes in Dan’s exhibit touch upon important places in his life. They share his aesthetic perspective of nature and our fleeting place within it – moving with light, wind, and breath. More gestural than documentary, Dan’s pictures reside in that gap between information and subjective perception.

Keith Allen

Keith’s wood furniture often features natural aspects of the material. His designs may be motivated by the material itself, or by the language found in songs, or everyday phrases. His intuitive way of understanding relationships and details helps his pieces evolve into something new and unique.

Coffee with FRANK - Photographing Artwork
2025-05-03 10:00 - 11:00
Budget-friendly ways to photograph your artby R. Scott HornerFree | Coffee & Donuts Provided

The painting is finished, but now you have to post it to Instagram and your website, or maybe send it off to be jurried, or maybe you need to document your collection. So you have to take a photo.

Of course, the best way to document your work is to hire a photographer with the right equipment – cameras, lenses, lighting etc. But for many of us, we don’t have the resources to do that. In this coffee talk, painter R. Scott Horner will cover budget-friendly ways you can photograph your artwork.

After years of trying to get good photos of his work, Scott has developed a method that is mostly color correct, well lit, and high resolution. Scott will show you how to use your cell phone and free software to get the job done. He will talk mostly about photographing paintings, but will also share tips on photographing three-dimentional artwork.

Join us for our monthly Coffee with FRANK series that invites you to slow down, sip a warm cup of coffee, and engage with the creative community at FRANK Gallery!

Whether you’re a longtime collector, a fellow artist, or someone simply curious about the creative process, Coffee with FRANK provides a welcoming space to explore ideas, build community, and spark meaningful conversations. Surrounded by contemporary art and energized by local voices, these events are designed to foster connection, inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the arts in our daily lives.

Featured Artists Exhibit May-July 2025
2025-05-20 00:00 - 2025-07-05 23:59
The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Carol Retsch-Bogart, Nerys Levy, Linda Prager, and guest artists Leif Gann-Matzen and Pete Sack.

Opening Reception on May 23, 2025.

This show will also be the spotlight of a special event, The Artistic Palate: A Fusion of Art, Food, Poetry & Song, on June 1, 2025! Tickets are available now!

Carol Retsch-Bogart

A recent visit to Japan has inspired Carol’s encaustic wax, mixed media and printmaking work. She reacts to Japanese woodblock prints, graphic illustrations, amazing textiles of indigo, and floral silks. Carol’s own work is bold and colorful with a strong connection to nature and an emphasis on the simplicity and beauty of ordinary objects.

More Info and Work

Nerys Levy

Nerys’ work is inspired by her summer travel sketches in Great Britain and northern Italy. She then captures the energy of those sketches in paintings with bold lines and strong colors. The works in this exhibit show how, with simplicity of form and line, Nerys effortlessly conveys the mood and dimensionality of place.

More Info and Work

Linda Prager

Reacting to complexity in the world, Linda presents us rounded, simplified clay forms that bring a sense of quiet. These pieces abstractly speak of trees, sky, and birds. It is definitely Linda’s most painterly series of work. The painted surfaces show her expressive brushstrokes as color layers with color.

More Info and Work

Leif Gann-Matzen

Leif carves wooden sculptures from trees felled a stone’s throw from the Eno River. In the process of carving, he works not to impose but to follow. The long, flowing forms of Leif’s pieces present his memories of tree and river in solid beauty.

Learn more about Leif and view recent works on his website.

Pete Sack

This is the first time these pieces by Pete have hung together on exhibit. They represent his figurative and abstract works expressing both an internal reflection of personal experiences and external observations of the ways in which we engage with others.

Learn more about Pete and view recent works on his website.

Featured Artists Exhibit July-August 2025
2025-07-08 00:00 - 2025-08-16 23:59
The gallery is featuring the work of member artist R. Scott Horner, emerging artist in residence Lucas Bernard, and guest artists Chris Boerner, Paul Reamey, and Kerry Schroeder.

The gallery also features a group landscape show, “SCAPES”.

Opening Reception on July 11, 2025.

Lucas Bernard

As an oil painter, Lucas’ motivation to create stems from a desire to engage more intimately with the world around him. By spending hours closely observing an object, person, plant, or landscape, Lucas is able to build a personal connection to both his subject and the physical art he creates. Through this process, Lucas aims to highlight aspects of life that may seem insignificant or overlooked, inviting a deeper appreciation of the mundane.

Chris Boerner

Chris Boerner is an artistic woodturner, specializing in creating beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork from a variety of rare and unusual wood. Basically self-taught, Chris enjoys creating intricately and technically advanced artistic pieces. He searches for unusual wood from downed trees with dynamic color and grain which may have burls, holes, or bark inclusions. Though these characteristics add to the difficulty and danger turning the wood, it increases Chris’ excitement and determination to create a piece that is truly unique.

R. Scott Horner

In this exhibit, Scott is visualizing the many echos of self found in the things we create and the enduring actions that leave behind traces of our being. Our selves echo in the digital world, too. Giant data centers build virtual selves by assembling our online activities. Through repetition of key shapes, and creation of container-like forms, Scott explores the concept of self-related artifacts.

Paul Reamey

Paul is an artist and industrial designer currently working in glass, wood, and stone. He’s drawn to these materials both by the puzzle of joining them together and by a simple fascination of how they continue to interact in a finished piece. There’s something about the fragility of cold glass, the heaviness of stone and the soft, approachable nature of wood that makes coupling these materials particularly compelling.

Kerry Schroeder

Kerry Schroeder’s work is a metaphor for the search for answers in a world where they feel both close at hand and impossibly distant. She turns to nature as her visual language—layered, ever-changing, and complex, much like life itself. She considers her work expressionistic, blending gestural brushstrokes and spontaneous marks with representational forms, existing in the space between the tangible and the abstract. Her process is a constant push and pull—allowing what wants to emerge, working with what appears, and letting go of what doesn’t belong.
