NELSON / FRANKS

About

This exhibition brings together two artists who deal with colour and shape in baroque-style excesses. Seductive, engaging and frighteningly singular, their unlimited love for sugar-sweet colours and roundness of forms proposes an antithesis to the minimal neo-conceptualism of the programme.Both artists share a desire to make abstract art that have a quality that looks, through their apparent clumsiness, amateurish. They are interested in biomorphic forms, which sit on the edge between the seductive and the repulsive. With great intensity, time- consuming efforts and a determined obsession, they both pursue personal developments towards abstraction, which at times parodies notions of Modernism.
