Southampton –Acclaimed painter Dora Frost
whose lush botanical paintings are highly prized by
numerous prominent collectors in New York, Palm
Beach and The Hamptons will have a rare showing of
her newest works at Chelsea’s 2/20 Gallery,
220 West 16th
Street. Opening reception with the artist is April
20 from 6pm to 8pm.
Ms. Frost’s large
pastels with gold and silver paint belonging to the
Peonies Series include both realist and
abstract floral images. The method applied in
executing these brilliant colored compositions is
one that “uses exactly what is front of me,” Frost
notes, and goes on to say “I’m trying not to get
myself involved in it at all.” Like the French
Impressionists, Frost reveals how in objectivity and
direct response, in the willingness to be “an eye”,
lie the secret to capturing the abiding truths of
nature’s beauty. Her work has been shown in a number
of prestigious galleries including Elaine Benson,
Spanierman and Tower Galleries in the Hamptons ;
Lever House in New York City and James Hunt Barker
Galleries and Palm Street Art
in
Palm Beach.
