Pamela Fraser

The work of Pamela Fraser is interested in the spontaneity of philosophy, examining and undermining the accepted logic of color systems. Best known for her sparse and straightforward style, usually involving geometric shapes of color on black or white backgrounds, Fraser challenges her viewers’ inclination towards narrative. Through her paintings, ink drawings, and “cut outs,” Fraser relates color to a variety of elements including design theory, literary reference, cultural logos and diagrams. 


Fraser’s solo shows include Gahlberg Gallery, MacAnich Center for the Arts, Galerie Schmidt Maczollek, Cologne, 1K Projectspace, Amsterdam, Casey Kaplan, New York and Galerie Schmidt Maczollek, Cologne. Recent group shows include Downtown Gallery, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Feature, New York, Apex Art, New York, Averill & Bernard Leviton A + D Gallery, Columbia College, Chicago, and Loyola University Museum of the Arts, Chicago.
