Natalie Frank: Where She Stops
September 7 - October 13, 2007
Mitchell-Innes & Nash
Natalie Franks paintings explore relationships of power as they function within issues of identity, sexuality, religion, and history. The personal, political, and theatrical collide in her representations of the beautiful and the grotesque.
Franks paintings are peopled by figures of the in-between -- characters ill-defined by gender and sexuality, reality and fantasy, presence and absence. Her life-sized figures assume a variety of roles, both allegorical and highly personal, which recur throughout the paintings. Blurring the lines between the perverse and the everyday, Franks paintings engage the viewer as a complicit voyeur into their strange reality.
This will be Franks first solo exhibition at Mitchell-Innes & Nash. She has been included in various group exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, including Aggression of Beauty at Arndt and Partner in Berlin this spring. Natalie Frank is represented by Mitchell-Innes & Nash.
