Frank Boyce is an artist and teacher from Ireland.
My current work is essentially about 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. I am interested in going beyond pictorial representation and creating a ‘sensation’ in the viewer via the device of disturbing the perception of the viewer and so evoking in them a feeling of the uncanny.

In the book of essays on painting ‘The Artists Reality’ Mark Rothko refers to the sin of ‘considering appearance as reality’. This interests me and I am playing around with this concept in ‘Thrum’ ,Walk in the Light, ‘Whipping Boy’ and other work in this series.
