Hide then Seek addresses the history of outdoor cruising in Britain — a subject that is, as Dobson describes it, complex: private and discreet on one hand, yet shaped by a strong sense of community, shared experience and open expression on the other. Gavin Dobson's sustained engagement with queer subcultures and their history reaches its most explicit statement here, the painting not illustrating a specific encounter but the practice and its particular quality of simultaneous concealment and connection.
An original oil painting, not stretched. At £2,950 this is the most significant piece in Dobson's current Print Club London catalogue; our guide to investing in original artwork is worth reading. Signed. £2,950.
