Coming from a long line of antecedents, Gilbert is a painter of our new unrelenting contemporary lifetime, as lived by those at the margins. He is a painter of the mystical and the ordinary, of the non secular hidden inside of the every day. His subjects have a energy and resilient grace underneath pressure.
“The bodies I depict are under the body weight of capitalism. I want that drive to be very present. I want it to be as dominant in the do the job as it is in our life. You have the existence of these forces but then I’m intrigued in discovering wherever we can entry the power that can circumvent the policies of the video game.”
“The sacred is what I’m invested in. Deciphering how we access a power that transcends all the materials composition of this entire world. I would say that I operate on the notion that none of us know how strong we are. None of us know what we’re capable of carrying out or why we’re here and, to me, the most exciting matter in remaining alive is hoping to decipher that and unlock it and be a transformative power in the entire world.”
“I like the times in portray background that live on a bridge between two techniques of thinking, there is these breaks of logic concerning Giotto for instance and then Trecento, Quattrocento. Like Fra Angelico, you are however in this world of magic, but then you’re also midway into this entire world of logic and cause.”
