We are happy to introduce the artist @frankboyceart

Frank Boyce is an Artist and teacher living in Northwest Ireland.
He completed his BA hons Degree in Fine and Applied Art in the University of Ulster, Belfast in 2001 and completed his PGCE in Art education in Coleraine University of Ulster in 2008.
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.
