Frank Pretorius

Frank Pretorius' favourite place is in the studio, working on his art. Whilst he never stopped painting and drawing from his earliest years, he has only recently realised his dream of painting full-time after a two-decade-long career in the advertising industry. The constant promise of a blank canvas with perpetual possibilities keeps luring him back to work on new pieces while learning, experimenting and advancing his craft. Frank's process involves initially constructing the imagery and then breaking it down through a process of deconstruction and finally rebuilding back to a representational image with a certain amount of abstraction, resulting from numerous layers of dismantling and reconstruction. He employs traditional materials, charcoal and ink on paper and oil paints on canvas, to capture light's elusive quality of transforming figures and landscapes within moments while pursuing snippets of the narrative of life as he experiences it. By transporting the ambience of his surroundings and securing it on canvas and paper, he takes an interval of time and interprets what it is like to be conscious of his surroundings in that moment. Frank currently lives and works in Hexham, Northumberland, United Kingdom.
