Frank Webster

Church

Frank Webster (Born 1966 in Fort Wayne, Ind.) is a painter who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Webster received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his MFA from Mason Gross, Rutgers University. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Webster is the recipient of numerous awards including the Pollock Krasner and the Golden Foundation Individual Artist Award. He has shown in New York at Sara Meltzer Gallery, Bespoke Gallery, John Connelly Presents, Deitch Projects, Lombard Freid Fine Arts and White Columns Gallery among others.

Frank Webster is known for his subtle commentaries on the post industrial landscape which draw on both the aesthetic traditions of minimalism and realism. His work has been referred to as "dark pop" or "strip-mall Morandi." Always grounded in the real, his paintings seem to speak of something transcendent in the everyday world and are possessed of an ethereal, melancholy beauty. The often unexpected juxtaposition of technology and romanticism speak eloquently of the moment — and environment — in which we find ourselves at the turn of the century.
