gallery show the vital source oi the larger paintings. The curl oi a shell is a fascination shared with ex-studio mate lan Howard and one which lends itseli to variation. It becomes helmet, head or elephant’s trunk. Some announce themselves under smiley titles like Spotted Whiskers — Fraser’s energy has a humorous edge which can catch you unawares with wonderful timing. Others have the dark glow oi a Goya. Currently working in the North-East, Fraser nearing 501s an artist of great breadth and virtuosity. (Alice Baln)
