Artist Statement
I’m influenced by classic cartoons and comic books. My paintings are an assemblage of inspiration of what I grew up watching on TV and scouring conventions and videos stores for that censored, banned or forgotten cartoon. After studying animation, I wanted to try and capture the feeling and emotion of a moving cartoon on a flat canvas. If I can give the illusion of movement, laughter and or horror to the viewer, then I have somehow succeeded.

Inspired by a steady diet of classic cartoons, comics and horror films, Frank Forte continues to explore the realm of disturbed characters that seem trapped in a nightmarish animated world. His most recent series of Neo-Pop paintings incorporate the reappropriation of figures and images we know from the yesteryear of the animated film, comic books, TV, advertising and pop culture as well as introducing Frank?s original characters.
Universal's early horror films were adaptations of work from familiar authors and texts to give their films a prestige appeal. These included Dracula (1931), whose success led to the production of other works such as Frankenstein (1931). Frankenstein's ending was changed by studio head Carl Laemmle Jr., who wanted Universal to be able deploy key characters from the film into subsequent Universal productions.[3] Following the release of other Universal films such as The Mummy (1932) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), there was a dry spell of horror films. Universal only returned to the style following a successful theatrical re-release of Dracula and Frankenstein. The renewed interest in horror films led to new works, starting with Son of Frankenstein (1939).
Lowbrow, or lowbrow art, describes an underground visual art movement that arose in the Los Angeles, California area in the late 1960s.[1] It is a populist art movement with its cultural roots in underground comix, punk music, tiki culture, graffiti, and hot-rod cultures of the street.[2] It is also often known by the name pop surrealism.[3] Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor ? sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment.
POP SURREALISM
Highly polished imagery inspired by cartoon characters and scenery ? that is how one could describe Lowbrow art, also known as Pop Surrealism, but the truth is that this unconventional movement is much more than that.
