Danielle Frankenthal's works are about light, in all its valences: as the specific light which is color; as the most humanly perceivable form of pure energy which allows us sight; and as the great spiritual metaphor. Her formalistic concerns are mark and color over a strong albeit sometimes elusive substructure. She paints on transparent Acrylite® layers to mimic the way adults see and to call their attention to that seeing which is through their cultural programming and life experiences.
