Large Framed Abstract Oil Painting, “Man Finish House” by Kathi Robinson Frank

Man Finish House,” 2018 by artist Kathi Robinson Frank is large abstract work from her large-scale paintings which incorporate oil, acrylic, charcoal, pastel and metallic paint framed in a white wood frame. Like many of Robinson Frank’s paintings the concept of home is central to her work. In “Man Finish House,” she explores the Chinese adage that a home is never really finished as long as its inhabitants continue to evolve with it. This joyous, organic relationship is evidenced by the interplay of sunny golds, rosy pinks, pale gray, white, black and lavender in a dynamic, painterly atmosphere.

New York City born Kathi Robinson Frank began painting at an early age. While in high school, she studied at The Art Students League and pursued her passion at Bard College where she graduated with a BA. Her early influences were Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Rauschenberg and Larry Rivers.
