About the Item

Roller Coaster is a dynamic C-Type Matte Print by Contemporary photographer Chris Frazer Smith. It is available in this size in an Edition of 25 and is sold unframed. This print is also available as a 40" x 53" C-Type Matte Print in an Edition of 25 with Prices starting at £1,740. An unusually calming depiction of an otherwise hectic and often rowdy environment, that of an amusement park. Set into the verdant coastal landscape, the soft pink and purple rollercoaster struts and girders blend harmoniously with the gentle sunrise in the horizon in the background. Taken early in the morning, when the amusement park is still asleep, Frazer Smith highlights the duality of existence in this depiction. In spite of the lack of animation in the amusement park in the foreground, the distant background harbours many ships and freight-ships, which implies a mass of animation and activity. Chris Frazer Smith was born in 1963 in the North West of England. Early in life he decided he wanted to make his living taking photographs. He takes photographs that explore the patterns of our existence in sophisticated urban environments. Cinema photography had a huge effect on him from a young age and influences have come from many places: photography, film, painters, Bauhaus, dance, music and particularly artists such as Irving Penn, Diane Arbus, Andreas Gursky, Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick, Francis Ford Coppola, Pina Bausch and Johannes Vermeer. His work has led to many international awards from: The Association of Photographers, Communication Arts, American Photography, The British Journal of Photography, Campaign Photography, Creative Review, The Masters Cup, Applied Arts, Photo District News, and he was awarded the Lucie International Photographer of The Year Award in 2003. He has been in the Campaign “Top 10 photographers” for the past decade, a D&AD judge, a mentor to students and, when he can, lectures to students. He has recently directed several film shorts.
