Trevor Price was born in 1966 and grew up in Cornwall. He studied Printmaking at Falmouth and then the Winchester School of Art. On leaving college he found work in a London etching studio, and learnt the skills of professional printmaking in the way of an old fashioned apprenticeship.
Trevor’s subject matter in some way is a reflection of his life. Some of the pieces are about the intimacy between a couple, and others show the normal obsessions of any man.
Trevor describes himself as an artist/ printmaker, and not just an artist. It is the opportunity to experiment and the diversity of technique that draws him to the medium. Printmaking can be as simple as making some scratches on a piece of metal and inking those grooves and the burr they create (drypoint), to highly sophisticated multi-plate etchings.
