Scott Fraser

Born in 1957 in Evanston, Illinois, Scott Fraser is a leading figure in twenty-first century realist painting specializing in taking ordinary objects and composing them in extraordinary ways. Many adjectives have been used to describe his work: quirky, intense, humorous, thoughtful; but above all, there is a sense of the personal in his unique compositions.

Fraser taps into a variety of influences, including art history, the natural world, friends and family. His work can be found in over 25 museum collections around the country including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, the Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco, and the Whitney Western Art Museum in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.
