Artist’s Talk – Frank D. Cole: The House Inside

Frank Cole Artist’s Talk, April 18th starting at 2 pm.
Exhibition on view through April 25th.

Frank D. Cole will discuss his work on view in “The House Inside” at Transmission Gallery, starting at 2 pm, Saturday, April 18th.

Framed by porches, window casings, and thresholds, Cole’s paintings position the viewer in an interior space, looking outward. Beams, panes, and floorboards divide and measure the picture plane acting as armatures for recollection, holding in place fleeting impressions of light on water, wind through tall grass, or rain dissolving a stand of trees. The result is both architectural and narrative, emerging as quiet meditations on place and time, imbued with tranquility.

See the work through April 25th. With concurrent solo shows, more artwork on view in the Gallery Office and GearBox Gallery just downstairs, Transmission Gallery is an unexpected art oasis upstairs in the “ART” building at 770 West Grand Ave. in West Oakland.
