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.

The triangles bred and twisted, replicating themselves.
