DALE FRANK Artist. Artworks 2006 - 2023

Dale Frank’s paintings are an experiment in raw chemistry, time, and motion. Perhaps the most prolific, radical, and singular Australian artist of his generation, Frank’s work – made by pouring and layering varnish over prolonged periods – embodies the transgressive power of art-making.

Dale Frank’s paintings are an experiment in raw chemistry, time, and motion. Perhaps the most prolific, radical, and singular Australian artist of his generation, Frank’s work – made by pouring and layering varnish over prolonged periods – embodies the transgressive power of art-making. It is alchemy and abstraction in one turbulent, bubbling, mirror-slick concoction; intensely deliberate, but searing with a kind of dirt under-your-fingernails psychedelic energy.


The major book Dale Frank, Artist. Artworks 2006–2023 features an immense selection of key works produced over the past seventeen years, a period in which Frank has pushed the limits of his output even further, experimenting with new materials including horror masks, human hair wigs, chocolate fountains, designer furniture, and filmmaking. In many instances, traditional paint is replaced with industrial materials such as resin, varnish, glass, epoxies, and fake blood. Designed by Stuart Geddes and Žiga Testen – and featuring major new texts by Edward Colless, Erik Jensen, Amelia Winata, and Georgina Reid.


408 pages, 27.5 x 37 cm, hardcover, Neon Parc x Perimeter Editions (Melbourne).
