Thoughts from the artist: "My paintings speak for themselves. No interpreter needed. Sometimes in riddles. Often ambiguous. Puzzling. Even contrarian. Playful yet serious. Thoughtful yet spontaneous. Softly spoken but painstakingly articulated."

Andrew Bogle was former curator of contemporary art, Auckland Art Gallery. Gaining his fine art degree from Elam, Bogle is a contemporary of Rick Killeen, Denys Watkins, Paul Hartigan.

Though his work, which uses simple, readily available materials of plywood panels and spray paint, Bogle explores geometric abstraction with a sense of freedom and delight which stems from the employment of simple materials and his art making philosophy.
