Frank O'Cain was born in San Diego, California. He has been an instructor at the Art Students League of New York for almost thirty years imparting an approach to abstract art that started with Cezanne, was interpreted by Hans Hofmann, and was taught to Frank O'Cain and others at the League by Vaclav Vytlacil. He is also unique in that his abstract art also derives from an elaborate study of long-forgotten fifteenth-century techniques. For a time, Mr. O'Cain's oil paintings involved no fewer than a hundred separate glazes. Recently, he has been exploring a new approach to space in painting. As he says, "I am always wandering about in the unknown, asking myself questions, creating new problems, finding fresh possibilities."Mr. O'Cain has had one-man shows at Purdue University; the Miriam Perlman Gallery, Chicago, 1981; the Miriam Perlman Gallery, Flint, Michigan; the Princeton Art Association; Levitan Gallery I and II, New York City, 1969, 1977; the Saginaw Art Museum; the Ella Sharp Museum, Jackson, Mississippi; Northern Illinois University; the Theano Stahelin Kunstsalon, Zurich, Switzerland; and at the Elizabeth V. Sullivan Gallery (at the League Residency at Vyt, 2013). He has participated in group shows at DD&B Gallery, New York City, 1996, 1998; Gallery Korea, New York City, 1999; Gen Paul Gallery, Paris, France, 2002; the Metropolitan Museum of New York, 2013; and the Pompidou, Paris, 2013.His work is represented in the collection of the White Building, University of Michigan; the Midwest Museum of American Art, Elkhart, Indiana; and in the Saginaw Art Museum. He has taught at Merrimack Valley of Music and Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, and at the Fairlawn Community Center in New Jersey.
