About Vicky
Vicky Frazer studied at Central Saint Martins in London, graduating in Textile Design. She then worked under sculptor Lau Kwok Hung near Florence, where she first began working with metal, leading to an invitation to exhibit her first sculptural series at the Foshan Metal Arts Symposium in China. Her connection with Chuma Art Workshop in Tanzania brought her back to that workshop and extended the international range of her practice.
Vicky works between London and the south coast, where life aboard her sailing boat Avanti — the constant presence of wind, water and the open sea — is the primary inspiration for her colourful paintings. She is also the membership secretary of Epiphany Art.
In their own words
"I am a visual artist based between Brighton and London. Avanti — meaning 'onwards' or 'let's go' in Italian — is the name of my sailing boat, and it inspires my work every day. The joy to be alive, full of colour and hope.
"My faith and my art are inseparable: I see artwork as an extension for excavating and working through the deeper meaning behind any joyful light and, equally, any darkness, breaking out to newness and the Gold.
"My paintings take many layers and emerge from drudgery and messiness into more considered yet spontaneous strokes and more playful tones."
Faith and the creative act
Vicky Frazer sees art and faith as two expressions of the same thing — a way of excavating deeper meaning in both light and darkness and breaking through to newness and gold. Her sailing life gives her a daily language for faith: the courage to step out of the boat, the storm as a place of divine encounter, the refuge found in the midst of turbulence. Her use of gold leaf is itself a theological gesture — the gold breaking through the layers, the light that arrives after the struggle, the grace that comes through endurance.
