Fraser's predominant subject matter was the landscape. Inspired by the Scottish landscape of his ancestors, he combined this with his affinity with French Modern painting experienced first hand in Paris during his studies there in the 1950s. His landscapes were executed with vibrant colours and broad brushstrokes. Fraser layered thick bright paint with a palette knife to produce an almost collage-like effect, whilst forming abstract dream-like fields of colour.
Fraser taught at the Royal College of Art for much of his career, and received numerous awards for his painting. He was elected as a member of the Royal Academy in 1975.
