A vision, slowly heard.
Selected press, features, film and writing on Nick Fraser's life, work and archive — gathered here for press, galleries, curators and those following the public release of his estate.
Summary
Nick Fraser was an East London artist who lived a modest working life while privately creating a vast and visionary body of work.
After more than three decades at the Tate & Lyle factory, Fraser left behind a powerful archive of paintings exploring faith, humour, masculinity, memory and the human body.
Following the estate's first public exhibition, Chapter 1, his work is now being released in chapters. Chapter 2 marks a return to East London, bringing together original works, unseen archive footage, live performance and the first limited edition print release from the archive.
