Frank Forrestall

Frank is the youngest of Canada's celebrated Forrestall family of artists. In a family renowned for its diverse creative values Frank's figurative work melds elements of Surrealism, Classical and Pop Art. His work is informed by his struggle in recovering from personal mental health crisis. Rife with symbolism drawn from world mythology, folklore, mysticism and pop-culture, Frank's paintings emerge as deeply personal essays drawing parallels between individual mental health and broader social mores. His work functions as a form of catharsis, as much for himself as the viewer..
