With a background in building construction and design, Frankel integrates his architectural aessthic into his paintings. Frankel has been influenced by Kinetic artists such as Alexander Calder and Isaac Agam.
Frankel often uses bright, bold colors and contrasting textures and patterns in a geometric setting to create energy and motion on the canvas.
His color choices tend to favor bright oranges, reds, and red-violets. These colors give his paintings a happy positive energy. Frankel balances these
hot colors with cool blue, blue green, and blue violet for harmony.
People today fell anxious, unmoored and fearful about the future. Frankel’s work is positive, happy , and harmonious- helping people navigate the uncertainties of today’s world.

STATEMENT
I am a visual storyteller. My artwork is intuitive and non-conceptual. I try to create energy and motion on the canvas by contrasting bright colors and unusual shapes and patterns with the aim of making an emotional connection with the viewer. Many of my paintings have a dreamy surreal feel to them. My goal is to make the world a happier place one painting at a time.
