FRANK Opening Reception & 2nd Friday

Exhibition: Dan Gottlieb and Barbara Tyroler with Red Nucleus Band Performance.

Dan Gottlieb’s SWAMP features a suite of pictures inspired by explorations of eastern North Carolina’s hauntingly beautiful cypress swamps, mill ponds, and creeks – and their fragile ecologies. Dan combines his life decades as an artist, museum designer, and environmental activist using a laborious experimental process of his own design.

Garden Journeys, A Portrait Photographer Explores the Landscape showcases the work of professional photographer and educator, Barbara Tyroler. Primarily an environmental portrait artist and editorial commercial photographer, Barbara first began rendering the natural landscape while meandering through the local hiking trails with students, friends, and family during the early seasons of our Covid pandemic. The abstracted imagery emerged as shaggy and snarly forms, colors, and textures and blossomed into a broader appreciation for the complex interconnectedness and social networking at play.
