Introducing Bart D. Frescura

Introducing Bart. D. Frescura, new Art in a Box artist

Bart has work up in our current exhibition “Scouting Oakland” at The Compound Gallery in Oakland, CA. We were intrigued by his work and we think you will be too!

Bart D. Frescura, born and raised in the Bay Area, has been obsessed with film since he was a child. This obsession is seen in the variety of mediums in which he works (photography, painting, sculpture, and illustration). With a cinematic perspective and hungry eye his works have a film noir quality; creating strange characters and documenting lost stories. He also has worked behind the scenes in make-up, costume, and illustration for local filmmakers. Frescura’s art has been exhibited throughout the Bay Area and North Bay, LA, Pittsburgh, and Orlando. He lives and works in the East Bay as a mold-maker, finisher, and patina artist.
