It is hardly surprising that Henry Fraser’s work has grown rapidly in popularity since he graduated from Edinburgh College of Art almost nine years ago. His paintings achieve what great work should accomplish. They draw you in, they lay the essence of their subjects bare and they connect with the viewer. There is a ‘soulfulness’ that shines out. All the feelings about life that Fraser sees on people’s faces round his Edinburgh studio - innocence, guilt, great happiness or sadness, enlightenment or frustration – can be seen. His exhibition at Kilmorack Gallery this March is Henry Fraser’s first major exhibiting in the north which includes larger paintings.
