Additional Information

“What can he see?” by Nikki Frankel is painted in oil on canvas. This painting portrays a man looking out of a caravan door. You can’t see the figure’s facial expression or what he is looking at, raising more questions then providing answers. Through this painting Nikki explores how difficult it is to truly have a deep understanding of the perspective and internal processes of another individual, despite the intimacy that you may share, you are ultimately alone in your mind. Inspired by artists such as Edward Hopper and Johannes Vermeer, Nikki is curious about the affect that spaces that we inhabit have on our thoughts and feelings. The use of doors and windows not only providing a light source but also a symbolic significance.
