About the Item
Iconic painting from Kim Frohsin's Cautionary Tales series series of 2015. 'Mastaba and Sky' is a highly contemporary painting created from mixed media: acrylic, dry pigment, ink, pencils on archival board. The artwork is 32 x 32 inches and it is professionally framed in light hardwood to 33 x 33 inches. Signature and title show from an opening on the back of the painting.
Kim Frohsin's Cautionary Tales marks a grand departure for this third-generation Bay Area figurative artist, who is best known for her exquisite draftsmanship, innate color sense, and female figuration. With Cautionary Tales, Frohsin pushes her mixed media and collage talent into an entirely new realm.
Cautionary Tales reflects on how technology is disrupting our world with a speed at which we cannot comprehend the repercussions. It is created in reaction to the wholesale gentrification and neighborhood dislocations the artist has experienced in her own beloved San Francisco, where changes in the name of societal advancement are occurring at a dizzying pace. The messages are universal, however, and not limited to San Francisco. Although the works make a bold statement, they are highly personal and directed with a quiet, guiding voice.
