Summary: <br> Neil Frazer is a landscape painter but don't expect pictures of rolling hills or calming seascapes. <br> <br> <br> <br> His powerful work depicts the harsh and dangerous environments in our world, where the sea smashes against jagged rocks and freezing glaciers slide past uninhabitable snowy peaks. <br> <br> <br> <br> It’s the physicality and energy of these places that he’s aiming to convey and he does so spectacularly.<br> <br> <br> <br> He combines an impasto technique with layering and glazing to produce a complex visual experience and his compositions often involve intriguing negative spaces which contribute to the drama and mystery of his work.<br> <br> <br> <br> He has exhibited in dozens of solo shows in Australia and New Zealand and his latest solo show, Liquid Light, opens at Martin Browne Contemporary in Sydney on 30 May 2019.<br> <br> <br> <br> Although he grew up in New Zealand, he has spent half his life in Australia where he completed his Masters degree after previous postgraduate study in New York.<br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode you'll hear about how and why his work moved from abstraction to figuration and why he doesn't believe there is a significant difference between the two, why he's drawn to his subject matter and plenty about his technique and process.<br> <br> <br> <br> To hear the podcast episode click 'play' under the feature photo above. <br> <br> <br> <br> Scroll down to see a short video of Frazer talking with Maria Stoljar in his studio.<br> <br> <br> <br> Upcoming shows<br> <br> <br> <br> * 'Liquid Light', <a href="https://www.martinbrownecontemporary.com">Martin Browne Contemporary</a>, Sydney, 30 May - 23 June 2019<br> <br> <br> <br> Show Notes<br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="https://www.martinbrownecontemporary.com/ArtistNFrazer.html">Neil Frazer at Martin Browne Contemporary</a>* <a href="https://www.philipbacongalleries.com.au/artists_and_stockroom?id=452638">Neil Frazer at Philip Bacon Gallery</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Goya">Francisco Goya</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Auerbach">Frank Auerbach</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock">Jackson Pollock</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Resnick">Milton Resnick </a>* <a href="https://www.paulacoopergallery.com">Paula Cooper Gallery</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Judd">Donald Judd</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Shapiro">Joel Shapiro</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Murray_(artist)">Elizabeth Murray</a>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton_Pugh">Clifton Pugh</a>* <a href="https://storrier.com/">Tim Storrier</a>* <a href="https://talkingwithpainters.com/2016/11/11/ep-11-euan-macleod/">Euan Macleod</a>* <a href="https://www.martinbrownecontemporary.com/ArtistJBraithwaite.html">Joanna Braithwaite</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy97smrExOc&t=79s<br> Neil Frazer in his studio<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Guiding Light', 2019, acrylic on canvas, 182 x 182cm<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Birds Eye', 2011, acrylic on canvas, 168 x 168cm<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Travelling Light', 2017, acrylic on canvas, 152 x 152cm<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Grotto Blue-Green' 2016, acrylic on canvas 152 x 152cm<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Fourth Gorge', 2011, acrylic on canvas, Finalist Wynne Prize 2011<br> <br> <br> <br> 'Bravo', 2003, oil on linen<br>
