A British artist, Terry Frost’s abstract art became popular in the 1950s. It’s no wonder why his bright, colorful creations drew attention – his artistic inspiration came from the coasts of Cornwall where he lived and worked. Frost’s art was influenced by his experiences in North Africa as a prisoner of war during World War II.
Frost’s use of bold, bright colors and shapes make his works eye-catching. He often used cool colors, such as blue and green, contrasting them with warm colors, like orange and red. Frost’s artworks often suggest the movement of waves, the roundness of the sun, or the texture of sand – themes of the coasts he loved. He even named some of his works after specific beaches.
Frost’s interesting life contributed to his art, making him and his art even more unique. Before he became an artist, Frost worked as a teacher and even sailed with the Royal Navy. His art education was limited, but that didn’t stop him from becoming an outstanding artist. Frost’s career spanned over four decades, during which he created hundreds of colorful, abstract works.
Today, Frost’s artworks are still shown in important museums and galleries worldwide. His colorfully abstract art is appreciated and admired, and it will remain an inspiration for abstract artists for years to come.
