Gabrielle Pool (1977 - )

A painting of wildebeest on the move on a hot African plain.  Their bodies appear to bleed into the landscape, becoming a part of and almost physically linked to the environment in which they exist.  Gabrielle Pool’s oil paintings are large and expressive. They are built up of many layers of rich, earthy paint and linseed oil using a variety of painting techniques. These impressive pieces are a unique portrayal of the fragility and significance of nature.

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.
