Visions in Black

Visions in Black  has dual meaning both professionally and creatively for the prolific artist. Professionally,  Visions in Black encompasses the Frazier family company. Visions in Black  has served as an avenue for the artist to branch into such popular media as posters, t-shirts and notecard collections that are accessible and supportive of numerous causes through special I am a Black artist first. My concerns will always be about the movement of African American artists. I am in no way trying to blend in with society or be part of a minstream. I love being what I am, a Black artist in America. The struggle in not that much of a struggle, but it is a part of our existance. The most importmant aspect is that we stay Black for the duration, the future of our children. And we must never forget that we are Africans in this other world! Power to the People!! (Ain't no sellout here).

We can talk about colors, styles, and all of those things that sound cute, but in the long run the work speaks for itself. Again, power to the people!commissions and editions. Additionally, several Frazier creations have received exposure on television (“Frank’s Place,” “Bustin’ Loose,” “CNN”) and film (“Coming to America”). The artist explains, “My goal is to see our company self-sufficient. My wife, Judy, has officially become part of the company, which I’m thrilled about.” He proudly adds, “and the children all help out. We can learn from other close-knit cultures. It’s about family being in control of what’s ours.”

The artist’s fascination with adornment emerges in explicit details of dress in people of  Visions in Black . Power and grace speaks loudly in the poses of family groupings and couples. Also, following a now-familiar progression, the artist later added color, more vibrantly hued than in any of his other works, and new themes of African village life.
