“What a fabulous day!”

“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.

“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.
