About
Why this artist matters now
Natalie Frank creates darkly detailed drawings and paintings drawn from the unsanitized narratives of the Brothers Grimm, staging scenes of violence, desire, and transformation that interrogate power and gender. Working primarily in ink and paint, she renders folklore as a site of psychological and corporeal intensity, where body horror and sensuality converge. Her practice expands into sculpture and large-scale figuration, consistently mining historical and literary sources for material that challenges conventional representations of femininity and agency. Represented by the Hole gallery.
