Donald Hamilton Fraser exhibited his highly acclaimed work in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Zurich and many other cities around the world. The list of galleries that own, or have exhibited his work is phenomenal. Donald has participated in many of the most significant exhibitions of British work, including the Royal Academy’s 25 Years of British Painting, where he was also a Royal Academician and a trustee since 1995.
Donald Hamilton Fraser’s predominant subject matter is landscape. Here he combined his Scottish decent and his affinity with French painting from his study there in the 1950’s. This is greatly reflected in his style and execution. He layered thick bright paint with a palette knife to produce an almost collage effect. The landscapes remain close to their origins whilst forming abstract, almost dream-like fields of colour.
