"I have made art for a substantial amount of years and have found inspiration in many forms. Mostly art work is about constantly discovering new ways to interpret my surroundings and personal experiences." -Gary Frier Gary Frier Biography 2008 (as submitted by Gary Frier) Born 15 October 1972 and later educated as a Graphic Designer at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Gary has been moved to create art of a more personal nature. Of his work he says,” I find inspiration in many forms of media and subjects. Creating art for me is about constantly reflecting on his place in the world, discovering how to distill and interpret this interaction with what surrounds me and documenting that personal relationship.” Gary makes a continued effort to encourage interest in art among his contemporaries by exhibiting at NGO’s and cultural institutions such as the Alliance Franciase and the ITECED (Institute of Training and Education for Capacity Building) library in East London. Most recently he has been asked to contribute to art auction “Starfish Dinner of Hope” hosted at The Vineyard Hotel, Newlands as well as MyLifE's South African Art Auction on the 11th of April on at U.C.T. Michaelis School of Fine Art in support of the youth development work of the MylifE Project. As well as creating a work for Peninsula feeding scheme charity auction exhibition later in November of 2008.His work will also be used as a video installation for Return the musical at Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica. Most recently at exhibited Person to Person at the Artscape Resource centre in Cape Town. He has exhibited at Greatmore Studios, Idasa (Institute For Democracy in South Africa ) and Durbanville Cultural Society, Battswood Art Centre, Cape Gallery, AVA(Association of Visual Arts)gallery, Caledon Museum, Fordsburg Art Studios (Bag factory) , Institute of Training and Education for Capacity Building (ITECED) library, Alliance Francaise de Mitchell's Plain , Alliance Francaise du Cap in Cape Town, Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK) and the Artscape resource centre. His work can be found in these corporate collections: Peuple et Culture – Brest (France) BP South Africa (Cape Town) Joop van den Ende Theater productions – Holland Embassy of USA, Nairobi Western Cape Department of Economic development The South African artist Gary Frier and I have been communicating for some time now about promoting and displaying some of his artworks on my website. He has sent me digital samples of some of his art and we decided that his etching were very intriguing; so it is a selection of these that are being added. In addition he has sent me some scratchboards in which he has integrated his etching technique along with his painting style in a wax etching. These artworks represent a different and welcome style than that usually displayed on Inside African Art. We thought it would be interesting to see what kind of response we would get. Please, have a look! There is more biographical information about Gary Frier below.
