Frank Korb is known for his abstractions that focus on the formality of the push and pull of relationships throughout his work. Korb begins his works through the act of laying down collaged pages of importance and builds a grid and adds real texture and pattern from that paper. Then he builds up colors, shapes, and additional texture as he considers the dynamics of the space in the picture plane and works towards balance and harmony. While the intent with which Korb begins each work is important, he is equally concerned with the interpretation of the viewer regarding the relationships he creates within his work.
Korb earned his BFA in graphic design and K-12 art education from the University of Wisconsin‚ Whitewater and his MA in Visual Studies from Cardinal Stritch University. He is a high school arts educator, a former board member and Youth Art Month Chairperson of the Wisconsin Art Education Association, a member of the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network. Frank has exhibited throughout the country in group exhibitions and arts performance events. Korb is represented by Gallery NK in Washington D.C. He lives and works in Burlington, Wisconsin, with his wife Julie. Please visit his website at www.FrankKorb.com and his CV at https://bit.ly/KorbArtCV.
