ANTHONY FROST

Anthony Frost, born in 1951 in Cornwall, studied at the Cardiff College of Art (1970-73).

From 1975 to date he has exhibited widely throughout the UK, with regular shows in St Ives and London. His most recent shows have been at Beaux Arts, in Cork Street (2008 & 2009) and at Tate St Ives ('Art Now'  in 2008). Later this year, in November Anthony Frost's prints will be shown at The Armoury in New York with Advanced Graphics.

His work is in a number of corporate, public and private collections including Bank of America, Lloyds TSB, The Nuffield Trust, John Moores, Contemporary Art Society, Whitworth Gallery (Manchester) and Standard Life. In April 2009, Chichester University purchased "Ricochet Man" for the Bishop Otter Collection.

In July 2009 Anthony Frost was awarded "Master of the University" in honour of services to the arts by the Open University, via Plymouth University (college of Art & Design).

Anthony Frost's paintings are bright, full of colour and expression. They include repeated motifs (lines, triangles and dots) and a mix of materials (acrylic, hessian, sail cloth, string and other materials that come to hand). This hints at a complexity in the work, which at first sight appears quite straightforward. Although there is an element of planning in each work, there is also a random element which manifests itself in the creative process: Adding a piece of material or a tie that can change the painting's direction in unplanned ways.
