Fraser-Betts' painting, "Suffragette" (2023), is a vibrant tribute to the enduring spirit of feminism. Inspired by his mother, a second-generation feminist, and his sister, a female business owner, the piece features acrylic poured onto raw canvas, with drips and paint marks adding depth to the first layer. The modern neon colors resonate with contemporary themes, while traditional hues echo the banners of early 1900s suffragettes. Fraser-Betts describes it as a symbolic painting for those who refuse to settle and continue to fight for justice.
Fraser-Betts presents "Jackie O" (2023), a small paper work created during his recovery from a serious illness. This piece, a ripped article about Jackie O impersonators from Life magazine, reflects his journey of feeling like a stranger in a new land. Fraser-Betts employs a rapid painting technique, influenced by Alex Katz's advice to "paint faster than you can think," resulting in spontaneous yet deliberate compositions. The blend of abstraction and pop art ready-made images challenges historical boundaries, with Fraser-Betts meticulously spray mounting each piece on card to complete the image. He notes that these works evoke a sense of time travel, with meanings as varied as the images, yet underpinned by a subtle vulnerability.
