She was the former director at the Visual Arts Centre and she saw us as two young artists, from a very limited number in the area, doing contemporary work," explained Steven Frank, a 26-year-old Bowmanville resident. ■ Art has been a way of life for these two young men as far back as they can remember remember and they have both been exhibiting their work for several years. Twenty-four year old Richard Toms has been living living and painting in Oshawa, and he admits shows for young artists are rare, but that the region is expanding its interest in the arts.

Steven has studied art in Italy and the University of Western Ontario in London. His central theme, displayed displayed in the show, is the "primitive goalie". One large piece, done in hues of brown and black, depicts an African, masked figure, robed in goalie pads. "Some people may be offended offended by my art. It's not a landscape or still life, its a symbol, whether of cultural alienation, or a reflection of our society," said Steven Both painters experiment in other art forms. Printmaking and photography photography help them explore the boundaries of art, they explained.
