Gary Frier

Qualified as a Graphic Designer at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in 2004.

Gary Frier’s work has a strong graphic quality. He is interested in imbuing the two-dimensional image of his chosen subject with an expressive mood and personality, be it figurative or abstract. Frier combines contemporary and historical African elements and juxtaposes masks, fabric detail and colour with urban figures. His themes and subjects are inspired by photography as well as the art and craft of cultures that live or have lived close to the nature. He finds inspiration in many forms of media and says that his art is about emotive reflection of his place in the world.

He has exhibited extensively both locally and abroad.
