November 4 - December 5, 2024
From Kilgore College:
“Gilmore examines the practice of mark-making through pigments and various media. Working with different materials and processes, I explore what defines a mark, and how the methods and techniques change while the work progresses. A native of East Texas, Gavin Gilmore was born and raised in Longview, where he lives with his beautiful wife, daughter and their two dogs. Gilmore takes inspiration from the things around him, and his twenty-years’ experience as an art educator has deepened his need for creative expression. In the time of COVID, he decided to further his studies in the visual arts. Currently, Gilmore is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, working abstractly, creating drawings, paintings and collages, and also experimenting with sculptural mediums. Gilmore’s works involve complex processes of layering and removal of materials—to cover over and then partially excavate the imagery to reveal something of what has been hidden.”
