Sour fig (2016) 미술작품 Gary Frier 로

Born 15 October 1972and educated as a Graphic Designer.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. With very few opportunities to exhibit his work in locally as well as Nationally Gary makes a continued effort to encourage interest in art among his contemporaries by pricing his work “as low as possible” and by forming alliances with NGO’s (Non government Organizations) and cultural institutions such as the Alliance Franciase and the ITECED (Institute of Training and Education for Capacity Building) library
He has participated in an exhibition at the Alliance franciase du Cap entitled Similiar similarities and strange attractors with world-renowned artist Garth Erasmus, the Picasso in africa exhibition and the KKnk festival in Oudshoorn - Branding me 2006. In 2004 the he participated in Wasanni international artists workshop in Lamu-Kenya and his body of work encompasses figurative abstract and expressionistic styles. Also a large collection of wildlife art for which he continually receives derisive and contemptuous commentary from the local “intellectual “ artistic community for not being high art.

He has exhibited at Greatmore Studios, Idasa (Institute For Democracy in South Africa ) and Durbanville Cultural Society, Battswood Art Centre, Le Bon Ton, Caledon Museum, Fordsburg Art Studios (Bag factory) , Alliance Francaise de Mitchell's Plain , Alliance Francaise du Cap in Cape Town and the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK) held in Oudtshoorn.
