Ten years have transpired since American artist Danielle Frankenthal watched with horror the demise of the World Trade Center towers from her studio window. She channeled her dismay into creative energies which resulted in a haunting and mysterious body of work that launched her on a journey which has taken her literally and spiritually from ashes to light.
An underlying tension parallels the paintings' exquisite luminosity where Frankenthal balances the use of light and color. Philosophically, mark-making in Frankenthal's works embraces tenets of the Concrete Painting movement yet she carefully articulates those tenets in her own particular vocabulary.
