Join us next Wednesday 22 February at 3pm for an afternoon with artist Frank Burgers to coincide with his Gallery Shop exhibition Printmaking (2017-2022) and the Blue Abstractions. Frank will present slides of his figurative prints and abstract gouaches.
Frank first explored printmaking, particularly copperplate etching, as a student at Ballarat College of Advanced Education (now Federation University) in 1984 and 1985. He has returned to printmaking in recent years following an introduction to master printmaker John Loane, which spurred the creation of new copperplate etchings.
Having exhibited extensively throughout Victoria and across Australia since 1989, Frank had a solo exhibition Cadence at Hyphen Wodonga Library Gallery in 2022, and was part of the group exhibition Northern Abstraction at Benalla Art Gallery in 2021. Now based in Wangaratta and practicing from his Bridge Street studio in Benalla, Frank’s work is held in numerous collections including Albury Art Gallery, Dal Zotto Wines, and private collections. Frank is represented by Beechworth Contemporary Art Space.
