Born in Downings and a
teacher at Mulroy College in Milford for over 20 years,
Frank brings a background in fine and applied art. After
a hiatus, Boyce returned to art during the pandemic's
first lockdown, continuing his exploration of human
condition, politics, religion, and social issues.
Speaking ahead of his new exhibition, Frank said: “I’m
pleased to be having my first solo show at this location
in my home county. My new solo exhibition delves into
the complexities of the modern age, characterised by
technological advancement, climate crisis, economic
instability, and a hybrid digital existence. Through my
artwork, I aim to evoke a sense of displacement,
highlighting the disintegration and disruption of the
self in today's landscape.”
Central to Boyce's inquiry is the role of language in
ascribing meaning, a theme echoed throughout ‘Left
Field’. By posing questions through subject matter and
process, Boyce challenges viewers to confront the
uncertainties of contemporary existence.
The exhibition's centrepiece, Boyce's series of
paintings, disrupts traditional notions of reality and
appearance, inviting viewers to explore the uncanny.
Figures hover at the edges of perception, fragmented and
distorted, reflecting the flux of our digital age.
