Adam Gabriel (DK)
Born 1967
Adam Gabriel's clear fascination is with people; the naked vulnerable human. Questions like who are we imposes. The starting point for this is always the face. The powerful brushstrokes and precise lines reveal no obvious emotion, but insist on the viewer's full attention. The existential focal point of the works is an open meeting with a human, and perhaps we can recognize ourselves in the inevitable, strong gazes of the nameless figures.
"My name is Adam Gabriel. I live and work in my studio in Højer in Southern Jutland/DK. I was educated at the Art Academy in Rome from 1984 to 1990. I mostly paint with oil paints, but I also work with various techniques within drawing, ink drawing, watercolor and oil pastel. I also work as a bronze sculptor. Member of 'Kunst og kunsthåndværk langs Vadehavet' and 'Sønderjyske Kunstnere'
I am always looking for and trying to find myself in my art. My biggest fascination is man - face and body. I play with colours and form. I look for expressions that provoke, move and ask questions: Is there another truth in mankind? What does it mean to be human? I do not believe in a specific philosophy or religion, but I belong to myself - and my art! My greatest wish is to give the world something that would last forever.”
