Artist Info

Hugo Frones was born in Uruguay in 1950 and made his home in Toronto since 1975. He is a self-taught artist under the influence of abstract expressionism. He works with acrylic paint on canvas and explores the "control and chance concept". The subject of his work is discovered and rediscovered in the process of its making. The evolving process continues to enhance the visual quality of the work while he puts something of himself in every piece. Hugo's work has been collected in Canada, United States, Spain, Uruguay, Argentina and Japan.



ARTIST STATEMENT
 
I have been working since the late 80's to the present under the influence of abstract expressionism, and despite complex formal relationships in my work, the overall tone of my paintings is spontaneous rather than cerebral and organized. When working on the canvasses, I feel a particularly poetic intelligence working through me. Within a concise vocabulary of visual elements I approach each painting with an intuitive sense of where I want to go and how I will get there.
