Through various representations and multiple actions, the thoughts and imagery incorporated within my art attempt to mimic the world around me-as I see it. Fractured instances join to create absolute forms and the arbitrary becomes necessary. By investigating and harnessing my daily thoughts, I can help others see what the hell is going on in my head.

Prêt-A-Porter

ART EXHIBITION

by Brent Ray Fraser

Grand Opening

Exhibition of original artwork

September 18-October 2, 2009

6pm – 10pm

Gallery hours: Tuesday-Saturday, noon-6:00pm

Eastwood Onley Gallery, 2075 Alberta Street, Vancouver (604.739.0429)

Prêt-A-Porter is a rock n’ roll fashion art event strutting the fine line between catwalk and visual arts exhibition.

In Prêt-A-Porter, gorgeous items of clothing by high fashion houses like Armani, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Prada, and Yves Saint Laurent undergo Brent Ray Fraser’s signature transformations. Whether dipped in paint and stamped across a canvas, or given new life in paint-drenched sculptural form, Fraser spins the best of fashion (donated by friends and fashion lovers) into art pieces that are startling, stunning, and brash.

Prêt-A-Porter also dares to delve into today’s volatile socio-economic climate. Fraser incorporates revealing headlines from newspaper business sections into several of his pieces, exploring the connotations implied by pricey business suits and anchoring his work in history.

“The artistic aesthetic value of possessing a mass produced object is not easily interpreted,” says Fraser, whose paintings recently adorned the walls of the 2009 Juno Awards’ Rock Star Lounge. Fraser is no stranger to the fashion world. A graduate of Emily Carr University, Fraser was selected by Louis Vuitton in 2008 to caricature shoes at large events across Canada.

Even in its presentation does Prêt-A-Porter blur the line between fashion and art: nearly one hundred finished canvases will be unstretched, hanging on rolling racks and displayed on the walls.

Pret-A-Porter transforms the Eastwood Onley Gallery into a fashion house from September 18 to October 2. For more information about Pret-A-Porter, please call 604.739.0429 or visit http://www.brentrayfraser.com.

Ice cream cones

brentrayfraser — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 07:11:53 +0000

Brent Ray Fraser’s ice cream cones seemingly reflect the abundant advertisements society is confronted with everyday. His choice to portray a simple decadent object suspended in negative space, leaves the viewer questioning their nostalgic urge of sexual desires. Is this a desert or is this a comment on the alternative motives of society?

First Art installation

brentrayfraser — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:34:38 +0000

I came across this photo from 1998. It has me (19) sitting in my parents living room with 6 Goofy cardboard paintings. The installation (located in the Emily Carr University) was based on human movement, stability, eye coordination and the effects of animation on the mind and imagination. The installation entailed is 6 Goofy’s strung up by fishing line in a vacant white room. All facing each other in a circle. The viewer of the art stands in the center of them. Once inside the circle and surrounded by Goofy, the viewer would then begin spinning on spot in a circle. Each of the Goofy characters has a slight change in hand and eye position, much like an animation. Once spinning the viewer would notice that Goofy was waving at them as his eyes googled around in their orifices.

These paintings were donated to a local United church for a preschool class immediately after the installation ended. Not a clue where they are today???

The Silo October 2008

brentrayfraser — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:21:55 +0000

For those who are curious what the Silo looks like, here is a polaroid photo taken early October of this year. The Silo is currently being renovated to be fully livable by the new year. Upstairs is the creative space shaped like an octagon. I paint on 6 of the eight walls at once to produce more art in a short amount of time. Downstairs will be the living space complete with murphy bed, home entertainment, bathroom and shower. Call me the Grain Tank Artist. Take care.
