Gary Tricker. Artist and Printmaker

Gary Tricker is known for his witty, whimsical, if not surreal images expressed through the etching print medium. His father worked for New Zealand Railways and for Gary his childhood was spent in a house where stem engines were part of everyday life. These images and sensations are found  repeatedly in his etchings, which incorporate the glory of steam and evoke a method of transport for which we all hold a certain nostalgia. In conjunction with his fascination for the feline species we have a combination, in is etchings, of the feline image together with his fascination for steam and railways, which are irresistible. Of himself he states: ‘Printmaking is my visual lifeline that gives its magnificence’.
