Tony Ogle (1959- ) is almost certainly New Zealand's favourite contemporary printmaker. This morning I am delighted to announce the release of Tony's latest print - a superb edition that is in my view quite simply the quintessential Tony Ogle print. It's an original handmade screenprint titled "
Midday Matapouri" - a sun drenched image of a bach and caravan overlooking this beautiful sandy Northland beach. In this print Tony is returning to the roots of his artistic practice - just after completing his Graphic Design Diploma at Auckland Institute of Technology Ogle and fellow print-maker Tom Burnett established one of New Zealand's earliest fine art screenprinting workshops in Matapouri Bay.
With well over two decades of printmaking experience Tony Ogle's prints are extremely confident and fluid in their depiction of what Tony sees as the very essence of the New Zealand landscape. There's a great quote from Tony on his page in our catalogue "Screen-printing allows me to express my love of the New Zealand landscape and ocean environment with strong colours in a direct and graphic manner".
Technical Information: Matapouri Bay is a handmade original screenprint. Edition of 180 printed, signed and numbered by Tony Ogle. Image size 400 x 260 millimetres.
I wonder if Tony has created any prints featuring scenes of Matapouri Park?
ReplyDelete@Frank Tony Ogle advises he has not done a print of Matapouri Park.
