About

Statement

Frank Anderson’s paintings form vast landscapes where space and duration are visualized in a classical depth representation, which also allude to spiritual spaces evoked in the titles.

The landscapes, with their characteristic low horizon and pronounced reclining composition that emphasizes the ever-changing aerial element, are defined by painterly suggestion rather than realism.

His paintings get their meaning from the unlikely possibilities of the suggestive power of the bruchstroke. With that, he finds the most spontaneous and most thoughtless right gesture. A painting gesture that has been set with certainty. A gesture for the mind.
