Zoey Frank

Artist Statement

"Recently I’ve been using scenes from everyday life and mundane objects to investigate the formal aspects of painting. Questions of time, pictorial space, the interaction of color, and the arrangement of multiple figures in composition lead me from one painting to the next."
