GHOSTS | Nina Fraser, Stephen Foster

GHOSTS
Stephen Foster, Nina Fraser

An exhibition by painter Stephen Foster and multidisciplinary artist Nina Fraser explores the interplay between reality and image, memory and recognition.
​
Through material gestures and the action of tracing as a repetition of texture - a kind of echo - both artists pursue the presence of something absent: the leaf that isn’t there, a personality transmuting into its background. Vibrant oil paintings converse with delicate rice paper works, proposing that substance is fluid and the mark-making process a spontaneous journey, open to chance. Each practice emerges from an initiating subconscious force, suggesting only partially formed visions—shimmering, ghostlike forms that transfer memory through friction and insist, above all, on being vividly alive. The exhibition features complementary work from Rosa Foster.
