About The Artwork
mixed media on canvas. 2014. © joshuagabriel This piece was created over a a course a few weeks. Freeform drawing and painting. There is not a plan, except to try and make something great. Images from the media act as a loose reference for the faces. The painting happens in layers, from loose to tight. Imagery is "sampled" from different old books and the internet. I would often draw ancient statues from Egyptian mythology (and pre-BCE human history) and mix and pattern it with improvised line patterns and faces from ads in magazines. The three figures in this painting are a yellow eyed androgynous figure, a statue from a book about Egypt, and a version of myself on the lower right. Looking back I see a sort of hidden self-portrait that is more about energy, line and color than any kind of constructed narrative.

United States
Joshua Gabriel is a New York based artist, musician, and graphic designer whose work combines drawing, video projection, murals, music, and performance. jG updates the aesthetic of psychedelia to create a kind of hybrid space in which a mythologized version of his own ego, constructed of variable disposable personae, is at the center. Drawing on his experiences as a visual artist and musical performer in the New York underground, his work leans towards spectacle, drawing on sacred objects and readymades, projecting onto walls, and combining the abstract and figurative in a riot of color. Born and raised in Philadelphia, jG received his BFA from the Tyler School of Art, and his MFA from Brooklyn College. Joshua Gabriel has created large scale murals throughout New York City and has exhibited and performed in the United States.
