Junior O

 Robots and Rockets

Junior O have been inspired by the American born artist Frank Minuto.

Frank Charles Dante Minuto was born in Casper, Wyoming, in 1947.  He has had one-person shows at galleries in the United States and in a private collection with the Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka Museum in Russia and the Museum of Art in Nagasaki, Japan. 

Frank Minuto has had a display called ‘My Toy Robots’ at Los Angeles International Airport. The display has included 20 paintings depicting brightly coloured vintage robots and graffiti-style text.

Frank travels have taken him to Tahiti, Bahamas and England as well as throughout the USA. This has been the inspiration for his style of painting and opened him up to a world of vibrant colour. Frank Minuto has studied at places including Chouinard’s Art Institute, Otis Institute, Highline College and the University of London.
