Frank Woll has screen prints,
giclee prints, offset prints, and art cards currently distributed by Taku Graphics. He has
also begun producing a silver cast pin series, beginning with "Frog".
Frank Woll has dedicated himself to the creation of
fine art prints, graphic design, and, most recently, video animation in the unique tradition of
Northwest Coastal form line design. Frank's translation of contemporary technologies to the
visual vocabulary of ancient design techniques create evocative visions to elegantly and deeply
engage the viewer.
"Northwest Coast Native American Art is a
very old invented system of drawing which elegantly and precisely captures and symbolizes the Cosmos
of a people living on stretches of shoreline surrounded by magnificent forests, sweeping weathery
skies and abundant animal life. It is extremely unique in that it is the only art form of such
high organizational diction produced by a non agrarian society with the resources to sustain
"artists" and more contemporary religious and philosophical systems. Instead this
art form is brought forward by a hunter gatherer society who experience a spirituality as old as man
himself - Shamanism - and the only shamanic art to my knowledge performed as exquisitely and
sensitively in the history of the Earth." - F.Woll
