Gabriel Dawe

Gabriel Dawe is an installation artists working mostly in site specific work. He is originally from Mexico, which provides influence for his work. He received his MFA from the University of Texas in Dallas. He has been featured in many publications and has been exhibited in the various locations throughout North America and the UK.
In reading about his work, it was stated that his work centered around fashion and architecture, which made a lot of sense to me since he had a lot of textile in his work. I also found this distinction of his work relevant because the site specific nature of his work is very much based around indoor architecture. Though the ore i read, it started talking about his art in relation to gender identity and Mexican masculinity, I didn't really understand his work in relation to that at all.




I found this piece to be another fantastic example of good installation art. It works so well and so purposefully with the location that it's in. In works with the light to make the colors more vibrant and noticeable. It also obviously works with the multiple levels that there are to work with which is another great and impressive aspect of this artist.











This doesn't even look like string to me anymore, I'm sure if it was more up close it would be more recognizable in that respect. It just completely looks like light to me. It looks like various colored lights beaming down on the the ground in thin sheets. I find it insanely impressive.
