Fraser Renton

Fraser loves abstract in all forms but Digital, Geometric, Hard Edge, 3D and Minimalist are what fascinates Fraser the most. Colour field plays a huge part in his experimentation and creation.

Focusing on sharp lines, three dimensional shapes and multi-layered optical illusions, Fraser prepares his visions digitally, before transferring these creations to ‘one-off’ original painted pieces or digital works.

When creating linear-geometric abstracts, Fraser prefers acrylic paints on canvas, birch-ply and aluminium surfaces. There needs to be an edge to his work, whether that be using gradients, texture or subtleties in the colour. For geometric works that are resin coated, this extra element protects the finished pieces from moisture, heat and physical stress whilst enhancing colour and shine.

Fraser’s goals are to conceptualise, capture and design new and enticing art that delivers a capacity to create fascination, evoke deep thought through beauty as well as engage great emotion and distill mood for the viewers.  

Fraser was born in Edinburgh in the late 60’s. On leaving school he took a few years out, touring the US before returning to the UK to reside in London for the next 25 years. In 2015, Fraser relocated to West Sussex where he now works from his home studio.
