Fran Forman

To Insure Domestic Tranquility

We are pleased to present our second show of the colorful and inventive surreal photography of Fran Forman. Using her expertise of working with Photoshop for over two decades, she creates dream-like scenes with old and new photographs, people, architecture, scanned objects, animals, textures, paintings, and drawings.

Ms. Forman (b. 1945), who lives in Massachusetts, is presently a Resident Scholar at the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University. She has been in numerous shows and has won several prestigious international awards and honors for her art.

Ms. Forman observes about her work: “My images blur the boundaries between the real and the unreal, re-imagining worlds that, like our own, remain forever a mystery. I invite the viewer to look closely, to engage with me in an imaginative discourse, and to enter into a world of dreams and memory.” Most of the imagery in the show are from her series entitled To Insure Domestic Tranquility.
