Inspiration of the Day - GABRIEL DAWE -

GABRIEL DAWE was born in Mexico City where he grew up surrounded by the intensity and color of Mexican culture. After working as a graphic designer, he moved to Montreal, Canada in 2000 following a desire to explore foreign land. In search for creative freedom he started experimenting and creating artwork, which eventually led him to explore textiles and embroidery—activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a boy growing up in Mexico. Because of this, his work is subversive of notions of masculinity and machismo that are so ingrained in his culture. By working with thread and textiles, Dawe’s work has evolved into creating large-scale installations with thread, creating environments that deal with notions of social constructions and their relation to the self-organizing power in nature.

Artist's Statement :

"My work is a response to industrialized society and the urban landscape. I try to paint its visual character as it appears to me, its business, stress and haste, activity and excitement, pollution and noise, its natural sterility, the power it possesses and its hunger for more. I think my work is influenced just as much by what I observe in the streets, perhaps more, as from other artists".
