Anthony Frost’s art is bright, expressive and saturated with color. The British artist’s complex abstract paintings make use of repeated patterns and see an integration of a mix of provocative materials — everything from burlap, pumice and rubber to pieces of paper shopping bags and string figures into his pieces. Each image is transformed by his use of mixed media, which lends a collagist feel to the work.
Frost was raised in St. Ives, England — one of five sons born to the famous English abstract artist Sir Terry Frost. In 1970, he entered the Cardiff College of Art in Wales to study fine arts, graduating with honors in 1973. From 1982-90 he was a visiting Lecturer at the Canterbury School of Art in England.
Music is an essential part of Frost's creativity — he’s always listening to bands such as the English post-punk group The Fall while in his studio — and he was commissioned in 1990 to create the cover for the act’s Extricate LP as well as its tour backdrop. Also during the decade, Frost undertook residencies at the Cyprus College of Art in Cyprus and the Montmiral School of Painting in France. In 2005, he was commissioned to design a stained glass window for the Marazion Primary School in England. His work was featured in the "Art Now Cornwall'' exhibition at the Tate St Ives in 2007. In 2008, while he was their artist-in-residence, he was again asked by The Fall to create the Imperial Wax Solvent album cover and tour merchandise art.
In 2009, Frost received an “Honorary Degree of Master of the University in Recognition of Services to the Arts” by the Open University via the Plymouth University College of Art & Design, England. The Fall once again commissioned him to create artwork for their 2012 tour, which consisted of their backdrop and tour merchandise.

Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
An intricate modern abstract painting in coordinated bands of color and texture, balancing intuition and planning. Part of artist Gary J. Noland Jr.'s new series composed of many layers of acrylic paint that have been smeared, scraped, scratched and sanded to reveal a variety of colors and images. "The surface provides a harmonious balance, which references the struggle between chaos and order and hard-edged borders versus organic non-defined forms of expression, reflective of today's society," explains Gary. "The "Groove" is the way we must continue to move on regardless of life...
