The influences on Frank To's work are
drawn from literary sources such as the Greek philosophers Plato and
Aristotle. His process is very instinctual and organic; it begins
without structure, as an abstract form, his figures are then ‘tweaked’
out of the painting.
Frank To describes his style and technique as 'improvising the activity of painting' "Paint is continuously applied on to the surface only to be annihilated at a later stage. Behind all this, form and representation are integrated within the disfigurement. The paintings blur the boundaries between the figurative and the abstract. Initial ideas are irrelevant; the painting is allowed to grow."
