In the current swing of things, specifically the beginning of my first year of University studying a combined Bachelor of Art Theory and Bachelor of Arts at the College of Fine Arts and Art Month Sydney 2010, tso will be featuring a few artists and their works. Currently exhibiting at the Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is contemporary Australian painter Dale Frank's works. With a career spanning over thirty years with inclusions in the Venice Biennale 1984, 8th Biennale of Sydney, Biennale of Sydney 2010 and a major solo retrospective at the MCA in Sydney held in 2000, Frank has surely established his place as a well respected artist of his generation. The exhibition titled "Ice Age" includes a series of twenty nine intriguingly titled abstact paintings in the signature style of the artist.

"Even though almost everything he did had the consequence of doing the opposite. One small wrong decision, a bad decision, leads to wrong options, which had led to further wrong options. Further and further from the intention." 2009
