Frank den Os has been a playwright for most of his professional life. A more or less incidental relocation to the solitude of the French countryside of Le Berry some years ago offered him a convincing ability to connect with what surrounds and the meaningful omnipresence of nature. This experience sparked an inescapable urge to also document his inner landscapes differently by making a world perceptible that he knew had always been there, but veiled, if only by his ineptitude to identify it in a more efficacious, weighty manner before.

Being diurnally encircled by the savage beauty of the scenery Den Os now soundly calls his home, gently illuminates all his disparate observations and moderations as if they are invariably new, again and again, persistently joining in an always adjacent but moving closeness, equally soothing and evocative, a chaotic order wherein no real wrong can exist.

He finds inspiration in the way light shifts across a horizon, the turbulence of a storm and the stillness of dawn. These seemingly common phenomena dare him to survey the space between clarity and ambiguity, between the seen and the unseen.

More so than his writings Den Os now considers his visual work to contain a more empirical response to all that is out there, in there too, no matter its insistence, luring, waving, bouncing, exploding yet always vibrating on a level of its own.

Den Os considers his work to be an exploration of the complex relationship between perception, emotion and the natural world. He is particularly interested in how disruption, intensity and contrast can bring forth a deeper understanding of nature’s raw power, its beauty, its chaos and its fleeting impermanence, being the unescorted force that truly shapes our existence.
