People, Places, and Passion
Frank Trocino
August 5 - August 22, 2025
Reception: August 8, 5-7pm
Strata Gallery presents an Established Member solo exhibition, People, Places, and Passion by New Mexico based artist Frank Trocino. The exhibition opens August 5th, with a special reception on August 8th from 5-7pm.
Frank’s subject matter is primarily people and buildings. He explores how both entities entwine to enrich our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The relationships we cherish are mirrored in the spaces we inhabit, and both serve as reminders of our own narratives - celebrating the joys, challenges, and connections that shape who we are. Through his art, he highlights the depth of these intertwined experiences, inviting viewers to reflect on the significance of their own relationships within the environments they call home.
“I feel that art is really about epic fantasy,” Frank explains, “the layering and depth of emotion and tension. Each of my paintings comes with a quote or a brief excerpt from a fictional back story that is pulled from the depths of my imagination. It acts as sort of a plausible scenario which prompts the viewer to use their own imagination and create a story of their own.
Frank Trocino is a retired architect turned painter currently residing in Santa Fe New Mexico. His path to Santa Fe began in New York, then to Oregon as a young child through College. After graduation he has lived in diverse and iconic locations including Italy, Los Angeles, the Middle East, Portland, and Austin. Frank’s work can be seen in galleries, hotels, and the homes of private collectors internationally.
Strata Gallery is open from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website and Instagram.
