Douglas Fryer Scottsdale Art Gallery
Douglas Fryer creates moving, very personally expressed works that reveal evidences of places, things and people that have simple, yet profound significance for him. In observing and creating, the artist discovers themes that reflect his character and perpetuate his experiences. "I paint," he says, "as the themes become noteworthy, aesthetically and conceptually." Painting is one of the avenues through which Mr. Fryer accesses the "eminently desirable" states that lie between the physical and spiritual, the present and past, reality and symbol or impression. His love of landscape stems from living in many beautiful areas, including seven years in rural Vermont and, most recently, within the farmland and mountains of central Utah. He hopes that those who view his paintings will sense his love for his subjects and his pleasure in exploiting the materials.
Douglas took to art while very young: by age 6 he already knew his destiny was to become an artist. In 1988 he received a BFA in illustration from Brigham Young University and later returned to BYU to complete his MFA in painting and drawing. Douglas has taught fine art and illustration at several universities and art schools, including The University of Hartford, Connecticut and New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology. A collection of Douglas Fryer's original artwork is on display at the Marshall LeKae Fine Art Gallery in Scottsdale.

Beautiful work. I appreciate the artist's sentiments and commentary on beauty. If you look up the definition of Fine Art, it usually relates directly to the creation or interpretation of that which is beautiful. Mr. Fryer's work certainly achieves that!

Hello Douglas, I was at the Principle Gallery in Alexandria yesterday and saw your work. Absolutely gorgeous stuff. Every landscape impressed me with the simplicity and economiy of mark. The sense of understated drama and poetry really spoke to me. Do you consider yourself to be a bit of a tonalist. I thought of Twachtman, Dubigny and the lesser known PA Impressionist ,William Lathrop. I also admired your subtle figurative paintings, so small but powerful. Beautiful show!

So very excellent indeed! I just viewed your blogspot site again , and loved all your posted paintings. I first stumbled onto your excellent artwork in the Ensign Magazine. = the illustration of " the sacrament tray" was soooooo beautiful, and spiritually inspired! = that led me to search out your name and artwork. This is a great video!! Do you have more ?
