Katherine Fraser
"Sphere", Large Oil Painting of Pensive Man with Globes, Planets

2014

About the Item

"Sphere" is an original oil painting on canvas by Katherine Fraser. This piece measures 40in x 52in and is framed in an artist-made wooden frame. Artist Statement // This man is a connoisseur of the world, but only in theory; he has all of the knowledge and none of the experience. He sits very still, pensive and inward looking. I have a collection of globes, which I am constantly turning and using to engage my desire for bigger, broader travel. I look at them with nostalgia for where I have been, and craving for the places I haven't yet visited. I travel these globes with my mind, as inspiration for going out and having experiences in the real world. This painting depicts the profound loss I imagine I would feel if I did not have the desire and ability to see and interact with the wider world.

He has exhibited his work extensively throughout the United States, with numerous solo and group exhibitions, including shows curated by gallery owner Linda Durham and artist Joel Peter Witkin.

Also a professor, Stuckey has taught at West Virginia University, and most recently, Colorado State University. Tracy and his wife, artist Erika Osborne, live in Fort Collins, Colorado. ARTIST STATEMENT My paintings operate in a fictitious world that utilizes the mythologies and realities of the modern American West. Because of its unique history, the Western United States is more than just a location; it is a label, a persona and most importantly a cultural identity. The word "Western" is a category; it is used to describe films, literature, music, art, and fashion.

I am interested in historian Michael Johnson...
