ABOUT THE JOHN FRAME
TOURS: Since
2006, California sculptor John Frame has been working toward the
creation of a stop-motion animated drama featuring an eclectic cast of
fully articulated characters composed of found materials and
meticulously carved wood. These figures build upon the distinctive,
often theatrical stationary sculptures Frame has created throughout his
career, but the works on view in
“Three Fragments of a Lost Tale: Photography, Sculpture & Film
Works by John Frame” interact in a short film, created in
collaboration with Johnny Coffen, and are set in a curious and complex
world. The exhibition includes sculptural figures, multiple stage
settings, still photographs, and animated film vignettes.
Frame
has held a longstanding interest in The Huntington’s rich holdings of
works by the English artist William Blake (1757–1827), reflected in a
concurrent installation “Born to Endless Night: Paintings, Drawings, & Prints by William
Blake Selected by John Frame” in the Works on Paper room of the
Huntington
Art
Gallery
.
Frame’s
first museum exhibition since an acclaimed 2005 presentation at the Long
Beach Museum of Art, “Three Fragments of a Lost Tale” is accompanied
by an illustrated catalog featuring an essay by art critic David Pagel.
Steen
Art Study is proud and honored to again conduct an art education program
with this distinguished artist having had 12 sessions with him during
the years of 1992 through 2006.
