FRASER SCARFE
Fraser Scarfe grew up in Lincolnshire, where he has worked from a studio since 2007. Scarfe is Head of the Drawing Year and part of the teaching faculty at The Royal Drawing School. He studied on the Drawing Year 2012-13 and joined the school's staff in 2016. He was artist-in-residence at Lincoln Cathedral from 2008-09 and held his first solo exhibition there. Group exhibitions include Christie's London and New York, the Mall Galleries and Temple Church, London. In 2018 he was a guest judge on The Big Painting Challenge (BBC). His first book, How to Paint Atmospheric Landscapes in Acrylics, was published in 2016. Scarfe teaches and demonstrates regularly across the UK. He won the Drawing Bursary at the 2013 ING Discerning Eye exhibition. In 2008 he was named SAA artist of the year. As a painter, drawing has always been firmly at the core of Scarfe’s practice. His work begins on location as a direct response to the landscapes (familiar or strange) he finds himself in. Artist Biography
