BIOGRAPHY
Mr. Taylor instructs art at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. He has been an Adjunct Assistant Professor for the Department of Fiber and Material Studies and now serves as a Visiting Artist. Fraser has exhibited and lectured in Britain, Europe, USA and the Far East.
Fraser is known for his large drawing-based abstract collages. He combines his knowledge of form and composition with his skill in paint, ink, fabric, wire and tape to create works of art that are intriguing to the trained eye.
Fraser's recent solo exhibit- Reverse Transcriptase- at the Hyde Park Art Center (Loope Gallery, Chicago). Was a great success. The exhibit caused a stir in the Chicago scene. The exhibit included his largest drawings to date. The title refers to an enzyme, most commonly used by retroviruses such as HIV.
