Oil painting on board which was previously used as a colour palette, creating an expressive playful background for this charismatic big cat. An examination of unplanned colours and shapes to tell a narrative. Part of the series 'Palettes'. A collection of artworks created by using these canvas boards as palettes to pre-mix colours for larger pieces. What was left were beautiful expressive and abstract marks on boards - shapes which were unconsciously created. Gavin worked into these further to create these final tactile pieces.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Gavin Dobson
Gavin is a London based artist. Initially training in Fine Art at Middlesex University he likes to capture an element of movement within his pieces and so often uses paints and inks as his final layer to give each print a more individual feel.
Colour and nostalgia are important elements within many pieces represented which hopefully bring a person back to a particular time and situation, as well as creating an eye-catching piece of artwork.
A big fan of Graphic Novels and American comic books of the 1980’s in particular, he enjoys experimenting with lots of styles and techniques which help deliver and visually tell the strongest story.
Clients include Gaytimes, Boyz, Diva, Woodmansterne, Portfolio, Kingshead, Oval House and Trafalgar Studios.
