COLIN TALCROFT : A self-taught artist active in media including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and collage. Born in New York City in 1960, Talcroft showed an interest in photography from the age of eight and began drawing at an earlier age. Figure drawing has been a life-long interest, and the nude has figured prominently in his photographic work. In the realm of abstract art, he has worked as a printmaker and more recently in collage using painted and monotyped paper. His printmaking has included traditional methods such as etching and woodblock printing, but also methods of his own – for example, printing from corrugated board or from found objects. His work is in private collections in the US and Japan.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT : I have worked in many media – drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, and, most recently, collage. All involve problems of composition. What I enjoy most about making art is tackling those problems. I find it deeply satisfying to create order out of disorder ­– whether I do that using a camera’s viewfinder to frame a scene or by arranging scraps of paper and pasting them together in a way that is visually arresting. I find it wonderful and stimulating that there appear to be infinite solutions to the basic problems of composition.
