Beau Bernier Frank: East Coast Living
Artist Reception August 17, 2 - 4 p.m.
(free to the public during Open Newbury Street pedestrian walk)
Beau Bernier Frank is a self-taught realist painter, whose oil paintings focus on people’s intimate relationship with nature. Through his method of layering paint and his selection of colors, Beau builds a sense of depth, both visually and emotionally by combining detailed line work with wide open spaces. Beau spends about a third of his year traveling to collect inspiration through his sketches and photos, taking all of these back to his studio and imbuing his paintings with how he sees the world.

ARTIST STATEMENT
“I paint people and places, stories and feelings. In some shape or form, my paintings are autobiographical. They are postcards of places I’ve lived in, visited, or felt drawn to. When I look back on my work, it makes me feel like I get to have a conversation with a younger version of myself and I get to relive all the experiences that inspired and propelled my art forward. It helps remind me of where I’ve been so that I can better understand where I may go next.”
