Hugo Frones
Hugo Frones was born in Uruguay in 1950
and immigrated to Canada in 1975. He is a self-taught artist
living in Toronto. His work has been shown in Canada and abroad, in
Spain, Uruguay, Argentina and San Francisco.
Hugo has been working from the late 80's to the
present under the influence of abstract expressionism, and despite a complex
of formal relationships in his work, the overall tone and scale of his
paintings is intuitive rather than cerebral and organized. Hugo works
with acrylic paint on canvas and is very fond of warm colours, Mediterranean
atmosphere, and spontaneous and intuitive brushstrokes of bold paint that
gives the work its final touch.
