Testimonials

"Tony grew up on the North Shore and obtained his first surfboard – a ‘blue spirit’ from this factory in the mid seventies. In the early eighties he approached me to exhibit some of his artworks on my showroom walls. His obvious passion for the ocean and surfing was well expressed through these early works and they were much admired.  And now, almost thirty years later, along with our enduring surfer/shaper relationship, he continues to be inspired and create vivid images that reflect the NZ surfing experience! Keep up the great work Tony!"

"Tony Ogle is one of the most popular artists represented by Flagstaff Gallery, Devonport, in 15 years of operations, and it is easy to see why. His skilfully produced limited edition screenprints are not only memorable, but also affordable in terms of quality art.  

Over the years Tony has developed a style that is recognisably his own. He has an unerring ability to capture the essence of iconic kiwi landscapes in compositions and colour that bring to life the rugged beauty of New Zealand’s coastal landscapes.   

His works are hung in homes and offices in many countries around the world – many bought by homesick  expatriate  Kiwis, but  many purchased by visitors to this country who see Tony’s works as encapsulating the scenic delights of their travels here.
 
Tony’s artistic talent is matched by his professionalism – both attributes which should see his work enduring for many years to come."

"Tony Ogle is one of New Zealand's most talented and original landscape artists. His prints, in particular his coastal scenes, are notable for their vibrancy and captivating composition. No other New Zealand artist captures the unique allure and beauty of this country's coastal scenes so distinctively.

As the author of fiction which frequently features New Zealand's beach and sea, I am proud to have the coastal landscapes of Tony Ogle on the covers of three of my books. His work not only reflects the contents of these books, it also comprises a strikingly beautiful introduction to their contents."
