Broadcast Thursday 18th March 23:30 BBC Scotland “Loop” meets Frank McFadden, whose battle with addiction saw him lose it all, including his ability to pursue his gift as a visual artist.
On his road to recovery, Frank was given a lifeline through a chance encounter with artist Peter Howson, who invited him to work at his studio. Reconnecting with his gift for contemporary art at Howson’s studio, Frank went on to establish himself as one of Scotland’s leading contemporary artists, channelling themes of death and mortality into his work.
