Neil Frazer has pioneered a method and style in his work which is unique – he uses abstract expressionist techniques, sculptor’s volume, and painter’s depth as components of the building process. A duality of spatial illusion and material literalness sits at the very heart of his masterful paintings and because of this they come to both describe and reveal.
He achieves the remarkable combination of pictorial realism, accuracy of belief and the unique specifics of place. It is as if each painting has been hewn and built from the fundamental essences and very materials of each place depicted, and so each work has profound physical substance, three-dimensionality and enormity of scale. There are sophisticated textural dialogues established through varied marks and a commanding use of impasto painting techniques. He uses negative space as a silhouette and implies the sky in this way.
