SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – An opening reception at SUMAS welcomes art lovers to experience the traditional artwork by Hillary Frazier and gives visitors a chance to meet the artist.
On January 16, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., the opening reception for Shreveport artists Hillary Frazier’s new exhibition, titled PRISMATIC, will be held at the Southern University Museum of Art in Shreveport (SUMAS), located at 610 Texas Street.
Frazier, a previous guest of KSLA’S ArkLaTex Artistry, is a Louisiana-based artist who is known for her distinctive style and is influenced by renowned artists such as Alphonse Mucha, Fiona Staples, Skottie Young, and Jamie Hewlett. She begins her process by sketching which evolves into reflections of her consciousness. Her work reflects a passion for storytelling through intricate details and dynamic composition. Her work, which often features the feminine form, captures the balance between strength and vulnerability.
ARKLATEX ARTISTRY INTERVIEW WITH HILLARY FRAZIER:
When viewing her art, viewers can be caught up in the intricacies of each piece. The details guide the viewer to take in the full form of the feminine features of the body, face, and expression of each woman. The figures are highlighted gracefully by well-done light shading and vivid color to capture the tones of her muscles in poses that show her power, feminity, and confidence.
Frazier earned a double bachelor’s in studio arts and communications, with an emphasis in film, from Centenary College in 2013, and a master of arts in art from Northwestern State University in 2019. Additionally, she educates youth as an art teacher.
The exhibition will be available to view from Jan. 16 until March 13.
