TREVOR PRICE

Trevor was born in 1966 and grew up in Cornwall. He studied at Falmouth and then Winchester School of Art. After leaving college, for two years, he found work in a London etching studio. This was a hugely important time for Trevor, learning the skills of professional printmaking in the way of an old fashioned apprenticeship. On returning to Cornwall he firstly set up a print studio/gallery in St Austell and then moved the studio to St Ives. At 26, and with the artistic influences of St Ives, his work began to change. He was now making a living solely from his art. Trevor has since returned to London and set up an etching studio, but has maintained a base in Cornwall where he also still works.
METHOD The process is enormously important to Trevor. This is why he calls himself an artist/printmaker, and not just an artist. He loves printmaking. It is the opportunity to experiment and the diversity of technique that draws me to the medium. Printmaking can be as simple as making some scratches on a piece of metal and inking those grooves and the burr they create (drypoint), to highly sophisticated multi-plate etchings. You can ink up etched lines (intaglio process) or roll ink over the surface of the plate, or both at the same time. Variations/experimentation in printmaking can be endless. At the moment most of his figurative prints are drypoints of one form or another, usually on zinc or perspex. The abstract monoprints are made from rolling various coloured inks on to a metal plate, and then printing the results. This process can then be repeated numerous times until at some point hopefully something interesting starts to appear on the paper.
