Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
The painting was inspired by people who were protesting against the damage to our environment, triggered by a news story at the time of making the picture, however the painting refers to people who go out into the streets to protest. People who take to the streets to protest against governments, often influence public opinions in huge ways. The way I made the painting was inside out in a sense, first of all I was concerned with creating a dynamic arrangement of shapes and textures, in fact the painting is influenced by the paintings of Wilem de Kooning, an amazing American Painter that I studied while at Art School. One of the things that De Kooning does in his work is to reveal and hide the image that is being created. I used this method of allowing the paint gesture to obscure the subject matter - or rather partially hide the figure, and so the figure was created after the clothes. The clothes are not quite clothes they are something else that is more to do with a description of raw emotion, and physicality, rather in the way people in a protest get emotional support from the crowd around them.

In 2005 Frank Creber was appointed Director of Visual Arts for Water City CIC, leading on a programme of collaborative, educational and exhibition events, which to date have involved over 1,000 children and 200 Artists and musicians. In 2005 Frank Creber was appointed the official artist in residence until 2012 for Water City, an ambitious new re-development programme centred around a network of local waterways in east London. Extending from the Olympic Park in the north to East India Dock in the south, the East End is once again being subjected to the force of rapid urban renewal which Creber is recording through drawings and paintings as the project develops; a project driven by a vision to create a true legacy for east London, both physical and social. But as an artist with over twenty years experience of working within community groups in a deprived neighbourhood in Bow, Creber is equally committed to making works that explore a deeply urban affair between a new world created in the pursuit of progress and modernity and the community that it is setting out to serve. A community whose optimism is by no means universal because they have seen before that the developers’ bulldozers can just as easily destroy the inner-city infrastructure geared to serving local needs. A key to the relationship that Frank Creber has to the East End and its community lies in his role as Creative Director (up to 2010) at the celebrated Bromley by Bow Centre where he was one of the founding artists in 1986. He continues as a lead Artist for the Centre. Frank was born in 1959 and trained at University of Newcastle upon Tyne (B.A in Painting 1981) and Chelsea College of Art (M.A. in Painting 1987) and he has collected a number of prestigious awards: the Herbert Read Fellowship at Chelsea, Barclays Bank Young Painters Award and the Pickering Fellowship at Kingston. In 2008 Frank Creber was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, for his work in Community Arts with Young People.
