UK-based artist Frances Hogg creates minimalistic, child-like innocence, abstract collages, drawings, prints and paintings. The intention of the work is to question the relationship between the decorative, design and painting. In particular, the question about the way a traditionally painting has been treated as hierarchically more important than the purely decorative. Pattern and decoration has always been criticised for having more of an everyday domestic function and it being based purely on aesthetics.
Addition to this question
she’s also exploring into stripping back to the key underlying traits of the
different arts and combining them into the medium of painting to address the
individual issues contained within each.
Frances work often consists of a repeating pattern and decorations reveals in certain
colors and shapes. Her abstract work comes out ‘flat’ which may work out child-like but this could just happens to be the key that make her work
become accessible and strong.
