Featured Artists Exhibit for September/October 2020

Featuring: Peg Bachenheimer, Lew Graham, Paul Hrusovsky, Ronan Peterson

SEPTEMBER 8TH-NOVEMBER 14TH

Starting on September 8th, FRANK Gallery will be displaying a beautifully curated exhibit featuring the paintings of FRANK member artist, Peg Bachenheimer, mixed media of Lew Graham, painting/mixed media of Paul Hrusovsky, and the ceramics of Ronan Peterson.

Peg Bachenheimer’s newest paintings are oil and cold wax medium as well as acrylic on canvas. With an impressionist quality with a pleasing and soft color palette Peg’s graceful and beautiful paintings are light filled, glowing abstracts and abstract landscapes. Perfecting her use of her medium, Peg is able to create a textural surface with depth that highlights her choice of colors.

Working with the encaustic medium on birch panels, Lew Graham’s latest work in the gallery is a highly luminescent and tranquil journey for its viewer. “Deepen” is a series of mixed media pieces made by combining many layers and working with a neutral color palette; pops of colors shine through ever so delicately but oh so alluring.

Paul Hrusovsky’s current body of work is a nod to “childhood memories of play, ceremony, and reflection.” Working with metallic and mixed-media materials on canvas, his latest work is inspired by objects and textures from the natural world. With a rich and lush color palette and working with layers of color that are “stenciled, painted, layered and taken away,” Paul’s work is not only captivating with colorful metallic nuances and layers but there is a beautiful depth to his paintings from his layering technique.

Creating his own quintessential style that is both whimsical and highly sophisticated, Ronan Peterson’s ceramics are very sought-after and shown across the country. Using red earthenware clay, Ronan’s work though artistic and creative, are functional sculptures for every day use. Drawing inspiration from, “processes of growth and decay in the natural world and translated into a ceramic comic book interpretation of both real and imagined phenomena.” Every piece of Ronan’s ceramics are a combination of textures, colors, and patterns making each piece bewitching and one of a kind.

We hope that you can stop in to see this incredible exhibit when we open from on Tuesday, September 8th and visit the gallery with our hours of operation from Tuesday-Saturday from 12-5pm.
