“Dale Frank is part of an amazing lineage of Australian artists that push their practice to keep it dynamic and keep it at the forefront of what art is in our consciousness. What’s interesting about Dale Frank is he has both a local audience in Australia and also a presence internationally and that makes him a quite a potent force in Australian contemporary art. And when you look at Dale’s practice, he’s consistent with the fact that he produces work all the time.
He works very hard. And what you see is the work evolving. When you look back on his career over the last 40 years, the DNA of his voice, of his energy, of his manner, is embedded in that practice. It is very consistent in that it comes from a place of wanting to push art and challenge us on what art is in the 21st century.”
—Nick Mitzevich, Director, National Gallery of Australia
