Neil Frazer

There are parts of Deep Freeze that look as if they have been formed by powerful natural forces. They are thrilling to look at. How does Frazer do that – not just depict an avalanche, but create an avalanche of oil paint? That great slew of paint right in front of you – kilos of the stuff – that looks as if it’s just landed on the canvas. Yet the paint looks so heavy and ancient, like rock.
