MEGAN PATTERSON GABEAU

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE AT 1401 4th AVE

Attention to saturation, detail and implied textures are used Megan’s work to show multiplicity in personality, culture, and to cultivate different layers and dimensions in characters. Influenced by assorted styles; her artistic approach converges figurative realism with magical realism. Her recent body of work is an investigation into the human figure interacting with spirituality, navigating the world, histories, & transforming the mundane into the mystical while maintaining proximity to Blackness. Vivid storytelling is paramount to her process, as she wants to transplant the viewer into her narratives; to have them feel and see themselves in her work.
