Contemporary artist & print maker Gavin Dobson creates bold, iconic images, capturing movement & dynamism with distinction. His work is infused with a sense of nostalgia, often generated through a keen sensitivity to
Colour: from bold, saturated hues, to charcoal, greyscale, or delicate, washed out tones, Dobson’s eye for tonality artfully gestures towards memories of the past. ‘ Night Sun’ powerfully fuses the abstract with the figurative, gesturing towards representation without delineating object or form. A host of paint strokes converge onto Dobson’s rectangular canvas: swirls of black & grey create a heavy backdrop, while decisive dashes of brightly coloured pigment, in shades of yellow, blue, & white, punctuate the print. Creating depth & perspective, ‘ Night Dun’ suggests an urban vista, seen from afar under a drizzly night sky, but an abstract approach leaves the piece open to limitless possibilities.
