On November 4 as part of the Charleston Fine Art Annual, Helena Fox Fine Art will feature exhibition entitled, A Portrait of Place, paintings by West Fraser. Opening reception is on Friday, November 4, 2011 from 5PM to 8:30PM. Artist will be present.
A love of the land is apparent in Fraser’s paintings that evoke a true and honest sense of place. A master of the nuances of light and nature, his work is comparable to the finest of American and European Impressionist of the past. Nationally recognized, Fraser creates a feeling of timelessness in his work that draws the viewers into his contemporary experience. The upcoming exhibition grew out of West Fraser’s passion for his landscape. The South Carolina and Georgia Lowcountry, the region his family has claimed as home since colonial times, is a land of beauty, serenity, history and diversity, which keeps her inhabitants spellbound. Since earliest memories, Fraser has explored her hidden places, both by water and by land. A keen observer might find him at work, knee deep in marsh mud with white ibises feeding all around him, running under his easel without a care. He captures the soul of the region in his upcoming exhibit.
