Nick Fraser: The East End Van Gogh – A Landmark Exhibition Unveiling a Hidden Master

I am excited to announce an exhibition like no other—the debut of Nick Fraser’s extraordinary art collection, finally open to the public after over 30 years of being hidden from view. Known as the "East End Van Gogh," Fraser’s work stands as a raw and evocative exploration of identity, masculinity, class, and the deeply personal struggles he faced. This is not just an exhibition—it’s the revelation of an outsider artist whose emotive power has never been fully recognized by the mainstream.
For those unfamiliar with Fraser’s story, he was a deeply introspective artist whose paintings depict haunting images of gods, souls, and the human experience. Despite his immense talent, Fraser remained largely undiscovered in his lifetime, grappling with themes of sexual identity and societal taboos. His art is as much a personal journey as it is a reflection of the human condition.
This exhibition is not just about showcasing his art—it’s a deeply personal tribute to a man who found release and self-expression in his paintings. With the support of his lifelong muse and conservator, Mark O'Shaughnessy, we are proud to share this journey with the public.
The exhibition will feature large-scale polyptychs and a short documentary providing insights into Fraser's life. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate outsider art and promote a broader discussion around class, identity, and the overlooked talents of unconventional artists.
