PEEL is pleased to introduce the work of Gabriel Dawe to Houston audiences. The Mexico City born artist and current Dallas resident received his MFA in Arts and Technology at the University of Texas at Dallas. Dawe’s initial work as a graphic designer progressed into large scale installations of awe inspiring effect. His new Plexus Series, presented at PEEL, are shimmers of color crafted of polychrome thread spanning across the room from floor to ceiling to create an almost dizzying effect. Reminiscent of the intensity and color of the artist’s native Mexico, these installations were inspired by traditional embroidery on clothing. The viewers are invited to interact with and contemplate this rich environment.
