Frank Paletta is a Spinal Cord Injury survivor and ambulatory paraplegic Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary artist. His works in oil contemplate the complexities of learning to live wholly within the physical limitations of his physical form while adapting to the ambiguous and often contradictory thoughts and emotions that come with working as a disabled artist in America.

Over the years, Frank has drawn deeply on the events of his personal life for inspiration and finds the sheer physicality of the painting process both therapeutic and essential to the ongoing development of his creative vision. His paintings explore personal identity, movement, energy and the collective impulse to transform the darkest parts of the human experience into something hopefully palpable.
