Colin Fraser was born in Glasgow in 1956, and studied fine art in Brighton. He exhibits annually at the Royal Academy Summer Show, the Royal Scottish Academy, and at the Catto Gallery in London, Gallery Odelhorn, Lund, Sweden, the Gatehouse Gallery, Glasgow, and the Mira Godard Gallery, Toronto, Canada. FraserÍs work concentrates on the effects of light and air, producing a quiet, meditative quality recalling the work of Scandinavian painters of the 19th century, such as Hammershoi and Ilsted.
