* ALEXANDER FRASER (SCOTTISH 1940 - 2020), CAT GRAFFITI

oil on canvas board, initialled, titled and dated 2002 verso
framed and under glass



image size 15cm x 20cm, overall size 25cm x 30cm

Exhibition label verso: Summer Exhibition 2002 8 July - 3 August 2002, The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh
Note: Alexander Fraser was born in Aberdeen, where he trained at Gray’s School of Art under Robert Henderson Blyth. He began to find his own direction at Hospitalfield where James Cumming proved an inspirational tutor, setting impossible exercises in composition which were to have a lasting effect on the development. Alexander Fraser taught at Gray’s School of Art from 1966, becoming head of Drawing and Painting from 1987-1997. He was a hugely influential teacher and art educator. On retirement, he returned to full time painting and held several solo exhibitions with The Scottish Gallery. His late intricate paintings are both atmospheric and beguiling, offering the audience intriguing compositions of people, animals, architecture and landscapes. He drew inspiration from memories of travel and the history and folklore of his native Aberdeenshire, saying I paint my family and my environment transformed by myth.
