Frank To, the young Glasgow-based artist with a growing international reputation as a leading contemporary figurative painter, has taken London by storm with his latest series of plague doctor paintings. As part of a performance art show, the artist visited various London landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, dressed as a plague doctor. His exhibition at the Caledoniart Christmas Exhibition at the Air Gallery in London, was a sell-out.
Born in Falkirk in 1982, To graduated from the University of Huddersfield with a BA (Hons) Fine Art before going on to gain a Masters of Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone Art College where his tutor was Calum Colvin. In recent years he has exhibited alongside some of the greats of the international art scene, including Banksy, Jimmy Choo and Antony Gormley.
· His work has featured in several national art fairs and shows in Bath, Harrogate, London, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow and in the collection of Dundee University.
· Amongst To’s most famous collectors are Sir Patrick Stewart, the celebrated actor, and Deloitte.
