PORTRAIT BY FRANK TO by Simon Morkis, The Courier 20/05/09




AN ARTIST trained at Duncan of Jordanstone in Dundee will return to the city on Friday night, when his work is displayed in two exhibitions opening on the same night.

After graduating from Huddersfield University with a degree in fine art, Frank To completed his masters at the Dundee Art College in 2005.

Now based in Glasgow, his work will feature in exhibitions opening in the Queen's Gallery and The Vision Building.

The first of these, celebrating a decade of the Queen's Gallery, will include a portrait of Star Trek and Shakespearean actor Patrick Stewart that has been approved by the actor.

The Society of Scottish Artists opens its annual contemporary art exhibition in the Vision Building and will include a six- foot by six- foot canvas by the artist.

Frank To's work will also be familiar to viewers on the television series Rebus.

Adapted from Ian Rankin's detective novels, the series featured several of To's paintings.
