Frank Auerbach

Frank Auerback's work is recognisable with the thick apllication of paint, bold gestures and gashes of colour. He mainly uses charcoal, oil and occasionally Acrylic paint. Auerbach seeks to capture reality, create something new, to create something living and to add something to the world - how he puts it. He works doggedly, intensively and slowly to achieve that rawness that he seeks.
