Gabrielle Pool (1977 - )

A framed ink drawing of wildebeest caught in the headlights. Gabrielle Pool’s ink drawings on paper are inspired by her years living in Africa and are simple and charming. Using an unforgiving medium she produces portraits of African animals that are delicately poised between reality and abstraction with an underlying humour that reflects a positive vision of the world.

Gabrielle Pool has been producing painting and mixed media works since 1993, and has held over 30 solo and group exhibitions within Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, U.S.A, the United Kingdom, Greece and the Bahamas.

Partly schooled in Japan, Gabrielle’s early inspiration from her teacher, Mori Sensei led to a powerful oriental influence, with her first solo exhibition in Chiba-Ken at the age of 16.

She has been a finalist in the Sulman Prize AGNSW, the Mosman Prize and twice in the Paddington Art Prize.  Her work is included in leading international private and corporate collections.
