Lithograph (1999) 

David 1999 single colour lithograph 44 x 32 cm Edition 30

Gary Frier focuses on carefully drawn and painted human figures and is intrigued by the way a two-dimensional image can convey much of the personality of the person that he chooses to depict. While doing his residency at the Fordsburg Artists Studios he did this portrait of David Koloane.
