“In my art practice I seek to capture the immediacy and energy of my subjects through fast and emotionally responsive drawing”.
Simple-line
In developing a combination of drypoint etching and mono-printing, Cochrane has sought to retain all the ‘attitude’ from the original drawings. Each print has a maximum version per plate of just 5 and is unique, with slight differences due to the mono-printing part of the process.
Simple-line
“Unlike the act of drawing, printmaking is not normally considered a fast and responsive process. However, etchings have a unique beauty and have remained part of the portfolio of artists for centuries,” he says.

Rick Cochrane is an artist who is also involved with the Canberra Art Workshop, which runs groups and classes at M16 Artspace.
