Qualia Contemporary Art is pleased to announce Lyric Abstraction: Hami and Home, a solo exhibition of paintings by artist David Frazer. The artist’s second show at the gallery features abstract oil paintings, including a distinct body of work inspired by the desert town of Hami in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of northwestern China. A critical gateway between the East and the West along the Silk Road, Hami is one of two separate conditions for which the exhibition is named. Home, alternatively, refers to Frazer’s life in Providence, RI, not only as an accomplished artist and Professor Emeritus at Rhode Island School of Design, but also as a husband, father of three, and grandfather of five. This catalog featuring David Frazer details the inspiration behind his Hami series, his work's unique motifs and painting techniques.
