ARTISTS' BAR<br />
ACRYLIC AND GOLD LEAF<br />
ON CANVAS<br />
Jake Frame<br />
This striking depiction of a solitary tree on a solid<br />
gold-leaf backdrop captures our <strong>at</strong>tention with its<br />
stark contrast between foreground and background.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cherry blossoms are a traditional sign of spring<br />
and rejuven<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
Jake Frame’s paintings are rooted firmly in the<br />
landscape tradition, and his use of mixed m<strong>at</strong>erials<br />
offsets an element of the world in a vivid and<br />
dram<strong>at</strong>ic way. As in other works on view in <strong>Art</strong>ists’<br />
Bar, Frame isol<strong>at</strong>es a single piece of the landscape<br />
for closer appreci<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
