COME TO

The Kilmorack Gallery's annual Christmas exhibition features the work of Glasgow based artist Frank To. The Beauly based gallery used to be an old church before it was completely refurbished. At 26, To is already winning an enviable reputation for himself as a contemporary figurative painter, having already established a loyal following, including a number of high profile buyers. Such collectors include, Patrick Stewart. A Masters graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, To has also trained in Yorkshire. In recent years, he has exhibited alongside some of the greats of the international art scene such as Peter Howson, Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst. His work has also featured in several galleries nationwide. He is now represented in New York by Witmer Fine Art who has in the past sold works by Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and Andy Warhol.

Gallery owner Tony Davidson, of the Kilmorack Gallery near Beauly, always pulls together a fine gathering of artists for the annual Christmas exhibition. 3D makers in this show include Illona Morrice, Laurence Broderick, Angus Clyne, Lotte Glob, Sam MacDonald and Peter White. Gallery favourites James Hawkins, Robert McAulay, Eugenia Vronskaya and Kirstie Cohen also have some fine paintings on show, as do relative nercomers Frank To and Paul Bloomer.

Shetland- based Bloomer was born in the Black Country and worked as a labourer in an engineering factory before turning to art as a career. He spent a year at the Royal Academy in London and eight years ago, entranced by the ever- changing light of the Shetland Isles, packed his etching press in his car and headed north. His paintings, which burst with colour and energy, have a real graphic feel.

FRANK TAKES THE HIGH ROAD FOR HIS ART by David Oliver, The Extra Newspaper, 11/09/08

A SOUTHSIDE artist will be featured in an exhibition next week in the Highlands.

Frank To (left), from Newton Mearns, will have his work displayed from September 19 in the Art and the Word show at the Kilmorack Gallery in Beauly, near Inverness.

Frank (26) has already exhibited alongside Tracy Emin, Damien Hirst and Peter Howson, and sold pieces to high- profile buyers including Star Trek legend Patrick Stewart, currently on stage in Hamlet in the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Frank's work has also been featured on screen in STV detective drama Rebus.

This latest show is of artists who have created work inspired by literature. But Frank says his main inspiration comes from Michelangelo.

He said: "This will provide me with the opportunity to show the public how I am inspired by literal text. I'm showing a more personal side in my new work."
