Kim Frohsin
The Pastry Chef

2008

About the Item

Figurative nude with complex color—pink, green, grey and yellow— rhythm, and overall design by Kim Frohsin. 'The Pastry Chef' abstracted nude acrylic and mixed media painting in Frohsin's highly unique style from her "Figures WIth Edges" painting series 2007-2008. Third generation Bay Area Figurative artist. Kim Frohsin—from the movement that originated with David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, Rex Ashlock, Elmer Bischoff, Wayne Thiebaud, and James Weeks—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 a multidisciplinary visual artist, who is at home with painting, drawing, monoprintIng, and mixed media. Her subjects include the female figure as well as mundane ''objects" and series — including ‘Cautionary Tales’ , ‘Reliquaries’ and ‘Portraits of Numbers’— that attract her attention, and which are most often autobiographical in nature. The artist focused on this series of abstracted figures in her highly unique style, from 2007 - 2008. Media includes mainly acrylic paint with ink, dry pigment, gouache, pencils. The painting is framed in a museum quality pale hard wood floater frame. Signed by the artist, front in pencil and in ink verso.
