About

Frankie Tobin is an American visual artist whose work spans multiple mediums. Her London based practice is a continued collection of spatial interventions derived from form language during her formative years in Los Angeles. Tobin has exhibited in the United States, Mexico, Australia and the United Kingdom.

“Within painting, I find purpose in world building across intersecting phenomena. My practice investigates the event of space as a ground for communication. I approach “the image” as a psychic and environmental tool; bridging material and corporeal knowledge. Questioning the thinness of the boundary that separates our interior experiences from the material planes we move through; Paintings are symptomatically constructed as tools for observation and translation. In this way, the work aims to interupt conventional usage of space.

My image making is a union between the visions of my spirit, and the capabilities of my body”
