Discipline: Visual Artist
Known for his brash personality and his idiosyncratic art practice, the Minneapolis-based painter, Frank Gaard, has made an indelible mark on the local visual arts community over the past four decades. Using a vibrant, sometimes acrid palette, Gaard offers up satire through imagery derived from his emotional life, intellectual and political obsessions, and relationships, skewering pop culture excesses as well as academic and art world elitism.
