About the Item

Multidisciplinary visual artist Kim Frohsin created the arcane series, Reliquaries, from a variety of media—acrylic paint, glazes, ink, collage, pencils, and dry pigment—built upon pinhole photographs taken by the artist between 2011 and 2013. Relic considers things lost and found—memories, sacred objects, timeless treasures, and haunts. There is an aura that pervades these works of everyday objects, that require the viewer to look closely, to take in the surface qualities and ambiguous abstractions, while simultaneously recognizing the underlying “real-life” image captured by the artist’s lens. The work is professionally framed in a hardwood floater frame, and is wired and ready to hang on a wall, It can also sit on a table like sculpture. The backing is open showcasing the artist's signature, title, and date of creation. The artwork floats within the white washed maple frame with its outer dimensions of 8 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches. Mysterious, clandestine, poetic, and nostalgic: There are endless surprises to be found in these small works. Frohsin 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 at home with painting, drawing, monoprintIng, and mixed media.

Bloom (Framed Contemporary Multimedia Abstract Painting)
By G. Campbell Lyman
Located in New Orleans, LA
(Comes framed in a deep-profile maple floater frame, ready to hang.) Artist's Statement: "I was working on my loose, almost graffiti-like "Rosetta" series when this painting took a turn towards formality, and instead of trying to wrench it back into the Rosetta mold I just let it go where it wanted to. Has my usual insane assortment of mediums . . . " “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift “His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.” ArtSeen, 2018 (from a collector): "Love your work. We collect colorists like Wolf Kahn and Jennifer Bartlett, whom I commissioned a piece from that is in the entrance of Mayo Clinic. We are old fans...
