Notes


Gabriel Choto creates mixed media works on paper by combining printmaking and painting. Gabriel's evolving experimental practice involves layering photorealist oil painted figures over the delicate compositional architecture of etchings, to produce subtle, striking portraits.

Sensitive and intimate, these images often include close family members, depicting quiet moments of contemplation or affectionate domestic scenes. They draw on themes of home, pride, identity and diaspora.The artist finds new pathways into the painted image by taking cues from the surface quality produced by the printmaking process.
