Frank Gallimore Churn Series Statement
I’m very interested in various forms of portraiture, figurative art, storytelling, typography, and the more dreamlike aspects of contemporary realism. I work primarily in oil paint and gravitate toward works that have a bit of danger and strangeness to them, but I also like to have fun.
“Churn” is a series of paintings of fabric in motion. It brings to the canvas my fascination with fabric’s almost liquid quality. In motion, fabric can become oceanic, seemingly vast in its interaction with light, and painting such movement has become a meditative experience for me, as I hope it is for the viewer. This series is perhaps my most intentional foray into abstraction while still remaining fundamentally realist. I wanted to paint still lives that are anything but still.
