The Leith Gallery in Edinburgh has always had a policy of promoting young artists, and its annual Faces exhibition features the cream of Scotland's art school graduates. Graham Flack was one of the featured artists in 2001, while Frank To exhibited there in 2006.
Flack, whose work reveals a fascination with the human head and the space around it, was born in Northern Ireland and studied at Edinburgh College of Art. He won third prize in the BP Portrait Award in 2003 and was one of four shortlisted artists for the Aspect Prize in 2007. He has been recommended as one of the ‘Top 20 of Scottish Art' new and old to invest in, and his work is in many collections including The Scottish Office, Edinburgh College of Art and that of actor Robert Carlyle.
At just 26, Frank To has garned himself an impressive reputation with his psychologically intense studies of the human form teased out of an abstract background. His most famous collector is the actor Patrick Stewart. To has produced a powerful study of Stewart's head specially for this exhibition.
