About the Item

Exquisite work from Frohsin's Cautionary Tales, with the appearance of a Navajo Blanket or three dimensional urban street signs that are bold, strong, colorful. The painting is mainly acrylic on archival board with mixed media. Professionally framed in a museum quality white ash wood. Featured / pictured at the Silicon Valley International Art Fair in 2015. Ships in a wooden crate. A powerful work of art that considers the rampant growth of our cities and the unknown price of what we see as spiraling progress. The painting is 40 x 40 inches and with framing it is 41 x 41 inches. Kim Frohsin, who is often associated with the Bay Area Figurative movement, began exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1990s, and in 1993 was included with Nathan Olivera, Manuel Neri and Stephen De Staebler in an exhibit of "Four Figures from the Bay." With Wayne Thiebaud as the juror, she won the California Society of Printmakers' Award in 1996, and the following year exhibited at the de Young Museum in San Francisco in "Bay Area Art: The Morgan Flagg Collection." Frohsin is a multidisciplinary visual artist, who is at home with painting, drawing, monoprintIng, and mixed media. Her subjects include the female figure as well as mundane ''objects" and series — including ‘Cautionary Tales’ and ‘Portraits of Numbers’— that attract her attention, and which are most often autobiographical in nature.
