BIOGRAPHY
Beau Bernie Frank is a French American Surrealist painter whose life and art are inextricably intertwined. Beau’s dedication to his artistic process is evident in his inspired, organised, and expressive works.
Beau’s artistic practice is a holistic one, encompassing all aspects of his life. This intentionality resonates in his emotive, highly detailed pieces. Beau’s creative process unfolds in distinct stages: inspiration, organization, and realization. In his own words, “First…I keep my eyes open (for) signals from the ether. The second stage is much more reasonable. I organize my days…the third stage is all about sharing my craft. I photograph my work. Share my work in progresses… connect with other artists.”
The artist’s collective works include collaged, surreal portraits interwoven with landscapes, evocative singular subject landscapes, and expressive portraits. While diverse in style, all his works share a common thread: Beau’s unique perspective, where beauty is defined by story, feeling, and context, rather than mere aesthetics.
