Artist Mark Frazier Opens a Solo Exhibition “Fruit Fly: Summer of the Grasshopper” in Photo Four Gallery of South Suburban College

SOUTH HOLLAND, IL –The Art & Design Department of South Suburban College is pleased to announce a special guest artist exhibition titled “Fruit Fly: Summer of the Grasshopper,” by artist Mark Frazier in the Photo Four Gallery from now through September 12, with a closing reception on September 12 at 12:30.

Mark Frazier has been living in Chicago since 1995 and creating art since about 1990. In 2016, he got a phone with a great camera to document his artwork in color pencil. He had just completed a 10-year mandala series. After documenting his artwork, Frazier got to play with his phone camera. In the process, he discovered a technique of multiple exposures in a single shot and then started creating a series of images which he began to call "grasshopping.” Each image is the same motion, the same rhythm, like a haiku, one shot, like a movie still...a rhythm of a breath of a moment. Mark ended up with almost 3000 different images. He limited the series to his commute to and from work and walks around his Chicago neighborhood.
