Open house: come along to the one-day-only exhibition of NDP Fraser\u2019s life work this Sunday<\/p>\n

NDP Fraser, a practitioner of \u201coutsider art\u201d, lived in this building, pictured above, on Portland Road, South Norwood, for 25 years.<\/p>\n

Neil Fraser studied at the Central School of Art in the mid-1970s, and he would go on to exhibit his works in galleries in London and Paris. Later, he stopped exhibiting but continued making collages and assemblages, alongside work as a painter and decorator. Behind the net curtains, his house is jammed with his art.<\/p>\n

According to one account, \u201cThere are funny, surreal assemblages in boxes, like riddles, using repurposed images, toys or parts of them, bits of wood or other natural materials such as pint cones, doll\u2019s house furniture.\u201d Fraser\u2019s collages are described as \u201cextraordinary\u201d.<\/p>\n

Behind those net curtains on that suburban south London street is a vast array of Fraser\u2019s work. Most have only been seen by family and friends.<\/p>\n

Neil Fraser died in May 2024, but now, before the art goes into storage ahead of it being sent off to an as-yet unknown final destination, his family wanted to give all his neighbours and others in the area a chance to see it.<\/p>\n

\"\"That chance is this Sunday, December 7.<\/p>\n

From 11am to 7pm, the door to 104 Portland Road will be open, thanks to help from The South Norwood Community Kitchen.<\/a><\/p>\n

Donations to SNCK will be welcomed as they provide a wonderful service to the neighbourhood in these difficult times.<\/p>\n
