Biobody: <p>Stand at the edge of Gabriel Mills’ work—at the point where the wood panel meets the wall—and try focusing your line of sight across its surface. It’s here that you can truly appreciate the physicality of the New York painter’s topographical plains.</p><p>The mass of paint is revealed through deep craters that separate fields of colour (with Mills, no pigment seems off limits) which eventually turns into the forms and images of the painting.</p><p>Taking them head on, you experience the topographical consistencies and smooth atmospheric surfaces in a new light. You see the refined shorter licks of paint, dancing like fireworks. Colours effervesce.</p><p>Mills does not follow a grand narrative. Rather, his paintings offer themes for contemplation; placing unlikely companions—whether it be varying textures, techniques, tones—side by side. This playful approach derived from Mills’ time as a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where he would select and rearrange words from exhibit labels through the museum. His cryptical titles are the result of this exercise too.</p>
