Left Field: Frank Boyce

11 March to 7 April 2024

Frank Boyce’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.
