ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Luke Frost is a British abstract painter living and working in West Cornwall. Despite his notable heritage, as Son of the English painter Anthony Frost and the Grandson of the celebrated Modernist painter Sir Terry Frost, his paintings could be seen to instead echo a formality found in 1960s American hard-edge, post-painterly, abstraction. However Frost has developed his own means of exploring complex colour relationships, be they harmonious or provocative, and their impact on their surroundings alongside an internal and more contemplative space. 

Frost began exhibiting in 2003 following studies at Falmouth and Bath Schools of Art. His work was featured in ‘Art Now Cornwall’ at Tate St Ives in 2007 and in 2008 he was awarded a Tate St Ives artist in residency during which time he worked at Porthmeor Studio No. 5, formerly occupied by Ben Nicholson and Patrick Heron. His solo exhibition ‘Paintings in Five Dimensions’ was shown at Tate St Ives in 2009. He has since exhibited in Cornwall, London and USA, with essays written on his work by Matthew Collings, Tony Godfrey and Michael Klein
