About

Artist: Frank Ape Title: New Born Spirits Medium: acrylic on canvas Size: 40 x 40 inches Unique Frank Ape is a mystical creature who lives amongst the humans but without human restrictions. What started as a form of self-expression on the streets of NYC for artist Brandon Sines, quickly turned into a movement for the people. Frank has special powers that he continues to discover as he is tested by the many challenges of life. Frank champions positivity and equality, and cares about all living things. He believes in using imagination and play to inspire other people and animals through thoughtful actions. *** Born in 1986, Brandon Sines was exposed to multiple cultures while growing up in New York City, Toronto, and Los Angeles. Shortly after moving to New York City in 2010 to pursue art, Brandon combined his use of mythological creatures, pop icons, and made up characters into a new character called Frank Ape. The success of Frank gave Sines the ability to work intensively as a full-time artist in New York City for the past seven years in which he has developed a visual language that is raw, mysterious, and playful. He mixes Pop Art’s mass culture, Surrealism’s private associations, and inventive paint handling to create dreamlike environments. His mark making ranges from experimental techniques to illustrative precision. Parts of the paintings are crystal clear, and other parts reach abstraction. This juxtaposition gives the imagery in his paintings the feeling of being recalled from memory, whether it is a personal or a collective memory is sometimes elusive to determine. These paintings were recently featured in a book about his work called Lips and Drips.
