Colin was born on 6th June in Newtown, Wellington. His father was Russian and his mother was a Greek Macedonian. He has been making art since he was 15.

Colin's artwork involves the themes of world peace and harmony and he is driven to spread this message through his drawing. His most consistent mediums are biros and pencil on paper.

He has worked on his art at Vincents Art Workshop for the last ten years and during that time has had solo exhibitions and participated in large group exhibitions through Vincents Art Workshop.

His work is highly regarded and collected by many well known collectors of 'self taught art'.

Martin Thompson's drawings represent the evolution, over his lifetime, of a graphic system that creates order, pattern and logic in the face of the random, the chaotic and the unreliable.

Martin's drawings are games of positive and negative pattern making, a teasing marriage of the finest technique and control with the perfection of mathematics and geometry.

His materials are graph paper and fine point ink making pens. His technique is to meticulously colour in rows of tiny squares, so that sequences combine to form complex quilts, radiating mandalas, or patterns of pixilated tv static.

There is no testing, no trial runs. All the calculations occur in Martin's mind's eye and appear miraculously and with mechanical certainty on the page.



The art of Reece Tong is the art of simplification and essentialisation. Forms are flattened, shapes are reduced, designs are repeated and patters are created.

His process is methodical, paint is applied in a workman like manner, thoughtfully and never hurried. Reece grew up around the small farming communities of New Plymouth on New Zealand's West Coast. He worked at various labouring jobs before applying himself to his art work at the studio of Vincents Art Work Shop in Wellington.

His work is primarily graphic and is expressed through a variety of materials and techniques from paper mache and clay to carved and painted wooden reliefs. His intuitive process of transforming objects to a kind of primal essence invites the comparison of his work to that of tribal/aboriginal art making. But this is a natural association and there is no hint of a forced or studied approximation.

 

Robert Rapson is mostly known for his ceramics though he originally had a painting background.

Robert has participated in exhibitions in Australia and New Zealand. Robert won first prize in the Molly Morpeth 3D award in Whakatane, a merit in the Norsewear Award and prizes in The Manukau Sculpture and Vessel exhibition in Auckland.

Robert has worked in various parts of the world. Robert's work appeals to a wide variety of people and not just the artistic elite.
