Dawe presented at the renowned TED conference in 2012. | Name: Gabriel Dawe Born: 1973 in Mexico Main Medium: Sculpture, Installation Art Movement: Contemporary Art, Abstract Art About the Artist: 2011 Masters in Fine Arts in Arts and Technology from University of Texas at Dallas. 1998 Graphic Design Bachelor’s Degree from Universidad de las Américas in Puebla, Mexico. About the Artwork: Dawe was born in Mexico City where he grew up surrounded by the intensity and color of Mexican culture. Dawe’s installations of multicolored thread engage the eye and challenge our perception of space. At first, you may think you see a full spectrum of projected light: a rainbow of saturated hues shimmering on the walls and the floor. But as you approach, you begin to perceive the thousands of individual threads strung throughout the space. In an astounding, painstaking process, the artist uses miles of thread mounted between hooks in the walls and floor to create experiences of eye-popping color and form. |
