Bio
Born to a family of Montreal booksellers, Frank Rodick is a visual artist using photography to engage the worlds of acute subjectivity and emotion in extremis. Emerging from the intimate interiors of his life, his work is a primal meditation on trauma as mediated through the experience of self and family, memory and history. Refracted through the subconscious, the images manifest as expressionistic representations of the human face and figure. Across 30 years he has reworked the photographic medium, integrating analogue and digital photography with film and video, drawing inspiration from multiple art forms, particularly painting and literature.
Exhibited and published globally, Rodick’s work sits in permanent collections of numerous public institutions across the world, including the National Gallery of Canada, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Brooklyn Museum, Buenos Aires Museum of Fine Arts, Yale University, Denmark's Brandts Museum, and others.
