"ATMOSPHERIC GEOMETRIES" 

Doug Frohman is a 2-D, 3-D artist and curator ​represented by galleries in New York, Chicago. He is also co-managing director of Art Selective, an art advisory helping architects, interior designers streamline the artist selection & acquisition process for their public, corporate & residential client projects. 

Doug’s work has been featured at premiere US Art Fairs like ART BASEL Miami, CONTEXT New York, SOFA Chicago. In March 2018, he curated a major exhibition at Chicago’s distinguished Zhou Brothers Art Exhibitions called, “VITALITY RISING: a Five-Artist Dialogue”.
 ​ 

In 2007, Doug switched from painting w/ brushes to using a workman's metal-edged cement trowel. In making this change, his ideation & imagery shifted from sweeping, gestural inter-play and layered accretions to a refined, more minimal emphasis relying on geometric shape & line. 

The resulting "atmospheric geometries” find bold, dynamic colors meeting at the edges, w/ the imagery & surface energy suggesting a larger spatial & temporal context -- akin to a passage of music or ocean waves washing up on the shore - impacting the viewer with its presence and its power.
