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. There is an aura that pervades these works of everyday objects that require the viewer to look closely, to take in the complex surface qualities and ambiguous abstractions, while simultaneously recognizing the underlying “real-life” photograph captured by the artist’s lens. Mysterious, clandestine, poetic, and nostalgic: There are endless surprises to be found in the small works from this series. Here, captured, is the impression of a civil war era porcelain doll. 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. Photographic mixed media painting is framed in a museum quality light hardwood frame using all archival materials. Outer dimensions of 10 3/4 x 8 inches. Artwork is 9 1/2 x 7 inches. Artist signed, titled, dated Verso and exposed to view.
