Frank has been teaching in the Post-Primary sector since 2003.

Frank  returned to his own practice during the first lockdown of the Pandemic after a ten year break. Frank's work explores themes such as the human condition, politics, religion  and social issues.

Language and how we use it to ascribe meaning is central to his work. The Artist is interested in posing questions through the subject matter of his work but also through his process and the materials he uses. 

The Artist's current work  relates to the human condition in the current age of technological advancement, climate crisis, economic crisis and hybrid digital existence. The aim of the work is to evoke a sense of displacement in the viewer to convey a feeling of disintegration and disruption of the self. The Artist is interested in going beyond pictorial representation and creating a ‘sensation’ in the viewer  through  the device of disturbing the perception of the viewer and  so evoking in them a feeling of the uncanny.

The figures in this body of work hover somewhere at the edges of visual perception. These figures which are created using traditional techniques from digitally manipulated source material  and are fragmented, distorted and disrupted , existing in different planes the figures appear and disappear in a constant flow of content.

The artist's work explores the place of the individual within this context where nothing is certain and  all is flux.

Frank has exhibited nationally and Internationally.
