Malcolm Fryer was borne in Manchester in 1937. After studying at both Blackburn and Lancashire schools of Art he moved to Accrington where he was to become the curator of the Haworth Art Gallery. He later took this passionate enthusiasm to Arbroath to become warden of the Patrick Allen Fraser Art Collage.   Malcolm continued to develop his own career as a painter and widely exhibited through out the country.  Gaining the backing of Guinness ltd his first solo exhibition in 1962 was the start of an increasingly successful career.  Each new exhibition has attracted wider audiences and acclaim and his most recent one man show in July 2003, held at Eclipse Gallery, Hitchin Hertfordshire, presented some of his most beautiful and breathtaking work seen to date. He is now represented in private and public collections throughout the world.   Malcolm is currently working on new pieces for his April exhibition, details of which can be found on our “Current Exhibition” page.  This show will be a celebration of the romantic and dramatic coastline of Britain. Although Malcolm continues to explore a diversity of subject matter, this particular theme is one that has always been close to him.  It is probably here that we are most able to see the evidence of his greatest influence, J M W Turner.  With powerful brushstrokes, encrusted glazes and golden gleaming highlights the terror, turbulence and beauty of the ocean is conveyed with Turneresque romance and impressionism.
