Bio
Gavin Dobson is a painter based in London, known for his vibrant and expressive artworks that often explore themes of identity, sexuality, and personal experience. His work is characterised by bold colours, dynamic compositions, and a mix of abstract and figurative elements. Gavin frequently draws inspiration from his own life and the broader LGBTQ+ community, creating pieces that resonate with themes of love, desire, and the human body.
Queer Subcultures in the U.K. are complex - often sexual and secret, and with a determined sense of history and community, of similarity, and a place where anything goes.
'As a gay man, you spend a lot of time watching. Often, you don't know if the stranger in the distance is gay let alone interested, and it's a risky game to play, so there is often a lot of tension in several ways. Be it sexual or even social'
Gavins work has been exhibited in galleries across the UK and internationally, gaining attention for its unique style and emotional depth. In 2024 Gavin was chosen by Brookfield Properties to be their Pride Artist of the Year.
