"These Shores"

AN EXHIBITION

 

Invite to Ingris Frasers Exhibition "These Shores"

 

 
Featuring images of select coastal spots from the Orkney Isles and the Moray Coast, this collection of new work brings together places that each have a specific resonance for Ingrid. Some are vistas found on walks from her studio; others are cherished places from childhood that continue to draw her in on each return visit.

Having previously spent two years painting and repainting the same wreck from Montrose beach she chose to progress by examining shorelines which hold a special intrigue for her. The result: an investigation into the aspects of these shores which captivate her. What combination of form, colour, movement, scale and space makes them precious to her, and can it be emulated on canvas?

The resulting group of drawings and oil paintings, a combination of in situ analytical studies and abstracted, stylised studio works, have been brought together in this new solo show.

 

Prize winner in the inaugural Jolomo Awards, 2007, Ingrid is a young visual artist living and working on the Moray coast. Her work focuses on people and the landscapes they inhabit; transience and permanence; traces; and the marks we leave behind us, deliberate or unnoticed. Through the use of oils and in mixed media drawings she investigates the beauty and history of a place, creating semi-abstract landscapes. She is continually enraptured by the changeable nature of the Scottish landscape.

Born in Argyll, Ingrid grew up near Montrose before attending Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, obtaining a BA Hons in Fine Art in 2006. She has since exhibited across the North East, in Argyll, Edinburgh and London. Her work is included in the public collections of Angus Council and Aberdeenshire Heritage.

 

"My work of slightly obscure landscapes represents the footprints of the people, both ancient and modern, who have lived in Scotland. I feel our struggles with identity and belonging are bound up in our relationship with the landscapes we inhabit."
