CURATOR'S COMMENTS
One of our featured artists at The Gallery remarked, “I can always spot a Frank Eber painting before I see the gallery tag.” Yes, Frank has a recognizable style, but it is hard to put your finger on it. Frank’s paintings make great use of contrast, each painting often has some pure white and some pure black. He has expressive brushwork and plays up the texture of the paint for emphasis. But if I had to pick one thing, I would say that Frank seems to be able to capture mystery. You recognize the scene or figures he paints has a story. You, as the viewer, can let your mind race ahead to guess at solutions to that mystery. Strong viewer engagement is a quality of a great painting.
