OBAMA Collage

Vintage original newspapers glued on stretched canvas framed in a teak wood american box. Hand painted acrylic portrait, varnished. 120cmx105cm F I N D A W O R D F O R I T In this work, Gabriel creates a dialogue with his photo collection dedicated to the history of photojournalism built toward the last 15 years. Exploring the genesis of popular icons, he intends to reveal how the media infuse preconceived images, opinions and judgments, beyond the visual, through the power of words. Beyond simple icons, this series tries to align political power attributes with the weight of words in building memories and images. Gabriel’s works look easy to access, portraying familiar individuals but you should always think twice as the obvious is not necessarily what the artist intends to convey. It requires plunging into the canvas to feel and weight the wording that builds these icons as quotes and headlines are placed in a very thoughtful and critical way.
