Juror: Kim Frohsin

Kim Frohsin has often been described as a third generation Bay Area Figurative artist; she has been living in San Francisco since the early 1990s and her artistic practice is rooted in traditional live figure drawing. It is easy to draw similarities between her work and that of Bay Area Figurative masters Richard Diebenkorn or David Park, but there persists a bold femininity within her work. She continues to push boundaries and experiment with mediums including graphite, ink wash, and collage— giving her figures further dimension, depth, and texture.


California visual artist Kim Frohsin is known for her depictions of figures, mostly female, usually in paintings that are intimate in size and scale. All of her work, whether representational or figurative, is  greatly informed  by her interactions with and observations of her live models during collaborative drawing sessions.The artist fluently wields a visual language of her own creation, and her works unveil the truths, power, beauty, and vulnerabilities of women, in particular.
