Work Frank Pond
Frank Pond
Frank Pond creates. Whether it is music or an artwork, his fingers and hands, his arms and body move and make. Born to two professional musicians in Norwich in the 1920's, Pond has always felt different, influenced by and free to explore creative space "Frank Pond is one of those still waters that run deep. Quiet and softly spoken, he is nobody's idea of a revolutionary. His painting on the other hand, is as rough and aggressive as one gets. His preference is for two approaches of the late Fifties. The first is the 'drip and splatter' technique, where surfaces are built up almost by accident. The idea is to free the creative process from irrelevant controls. The second approach is what used to be called 'art brut.' Derived from the drawing of children, the insane and rough graffiti, it keeps some sort of reference to the figure and objects while concentrating on the paintwork. Pond plays with it mercilessly."
