Dale Frank Exhibition

Gow Langsford Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Australian artist Dale Frank.

Frank, who first exhibited in New Zealand in 1997, has an international career that has spanned more than 20 years. The breadth of his practice was recently showcased in an extensive monograph on the artist entitled So Far: the Art of Dale Frank 1980 - 2005, released by Schwartz City Publishing in 2007. Through more than 400 pages of full colour illustrations, the monograph follows Frank’s early performance works of the 1980s, his experimentation with traditionally ‘non-art’ materials, through to his more recent varnish works.

For his 2008 exhibition with Gow Langsford Gallery, Frank presents a number his large-scale varnish paintings. They are dark and luscious, and demonstrate the artist’s mastery of the resin technique that he has been exploring over the past several years.
