Gavin Gleeson
About
Gavin Gleeson (b. 1995), a Kentucky native with parents hailing from Ireland, is an artist whose work thrives on improvisation. He explores serious topics drawn from his life expereinces. He sees painting as a way of unfolding chronicles of time; with his experience and current realities combining to create a visual representation of a hybridised perception of the world. Guided by the materials and compositions he employs, each piece takes on a unique meaning and message. Drawing from his upbringing as a Catholic in Kentucky, with parents from Ireland, and a subsequent move to San Francisco to pursue a career in business before painting, he explores themes of fear and security through the process of pseudo-organization and isolation.
