ARTIST INSPIRED BY MICHELANGELO
By Samantha Chetwynd
A GRADUATE from Dundee Art School who draws inspiration from Michelangelo will exhibit his work at an Inverness- shire gallery next week.
Frank To, 26, will have four paintings on display at the Art and the Word show at the Kilmorack Gallery, Beauly.
His work will be exhibited alongside several established Scottish artists who have created work inspired by literature.
Mr To, who is based in Glasgow, is already creating a reputation as a contemporary figurative painter, having established a loyal following that includes a number of high- profile buyers such as Star Trek legend Patrick Stewart.
His work has also been featured in television detective drama Rebus.
And in recent years his work has been exhibited alongside that of Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst.
He said: "This exhibition will provide me the opportunity to show the public how I am inspired by literal text.
"In a way, I'm showing a more personal side with the new work."
The exhibition opens on September 12.
