Expo Chicago 2018

Showcasing new paintings alongside older works from the Plywood Paintings series (1992-1998), the booth will create a dialogue between Frank’s practice today and the past decades.

“For more than a year I drew after the nude, finding descriptive line to put into stages of abstract configuration. This process still keeps going. I now work from a large body of existing lines, by other artists and myself. These are enlarged and screened on to the canvas. These lines are pure, they are tools. My archive of lines is very selective, a vocabulary of my own.” – (Jan Frank on the exhibition Jan Frank: New Paintings, 2018)
