Gary Frier is a painter and sculptor who lives near Capetown in South Africa.

"Growing up, my family recognized my talent and enrolled me in an after-school programme and later I was encouraged to study graphic design for a “stable career.” Coming from an artless secondary education to a dubious tertiary institution was not conducive to a good start and I found myself not really fitting into either the fine art fraternity or the corporate industry. Over the years I’ve been doing various creative jobs and I now consider myself a 'jack of all trades.'"

You can see his work, both present and past, on Instagram, Saatchi Art, and African Art Agenda.

She is leaving the world that is pink with desire, on her gray cardboard rocket ship.
