Trevor Price

Trevor Price (born 1966) became an elected member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers in 1994, and their Vice President between 2013-18

He shares his time between a studio close to Tower Bridge in London, and the other in the heart of the artist community of St. Ives in Cornwall.

Nothing to do with art..... but he is also a qualified lifeguard, and assists with coaching children in St.Ives surf life saving club. He is also a National Champion in his age group for surf life saving 1km beach run.

The most recent series by Trevor Price are drypoint and engraved relief prints handmade and hand printed by the artist. Using a polycarbonate 2mm sheet he has carved and scraped the plate with a drypoint needle and a dremmel. This process is very time consuming and unforgiving if mistakes are made. With ink then rolled over the surface, it is sent through an etching press with damp paper over the plate.

The artists intention is for the viewer to get lost in the mark making and abstractions when viewed close up, but from a distance for the images to become highly representational and almost photographic. There is however no photographic process involved and everything is handmade and printed by hand.

With some the paper is then stained to give a sense of antiquity and the feel of an old sepia photograph.
