Introducing Featured Artist: Frank Joseph Zirbel -- painter, sculptor, and printmaker.

Muse Chicago is excited to introduce our featured artist Frank Joseph Zirbel. Frank has a storefront studio aptly titled Studio Z, in Avondale at 3034 N. Milwaukee Ave. He is best known for making art that reveals the beauty of the everyday and the overlooked. By repurposing discarded materials, Zirbel creates striking pieces that blend raw urban energy with delicate artistry and an edgy look at the world around us, keenly observing these crazy and uncertain times.

In addition to his innovative art, Frank is an accomplished draughtsman and printmaker, particularly noted for his exceptional etching skills—a rare talent. His impressive collections of prints and works on paper tell stories of transformation, capturing the essence of resilience and creativity. His talents extend to painting and sculpture, making his work diverse and impactful.

Each creation by Zirbel is a testament to the beauty found in unexpected places, showcasing his ability to see and convey the extraordinary in the ordinary.
