Gavin Rain Figurative Paintings
South African, b. 1971
Gavin Rain studied Art and Neuropsychology at the University of Cape Town. Influenced by Seurat, the 20th century Russian avant-garde, art and a number of architects, he started exploring and developing his own neo-pointillism technique around 2003–04.
Rain's style arises from the need to present a new perspective where the purpose is to compel the viewer to recognize the narrative that is hidden from sight, the one that is discovered only when going back from the painting. The artist compares his work with our lives. Up close things are interesting, with a lot of texture and noise, and not very clear. But, taking a step back, we see the influence that people and things have in our lives, and how it is built of every individual dot.
Through his art, Rain seeks to expand the visual and cognitive horizons of people.
Rain has participated in various fairs, mainly in Europe and the United States as well as both individual and collective exhibitions around the world. His participation in the Venice Biennale in 2011 and 2013 stands out in particular, for it got a lot of attention.
