Solo Exhibition: Leo GABIN (Lieven Deconinck, Robin De Vooght, and Gaëtan Begerem, b. Ghent, Belgium, live and work, Ghent, Belgium), met in Ghent as teenagers and have worked as a collective since the early 2000´s. They work in a variety of media including video, painting, sculpture and various other media. Leo Gabin teaches as a collective at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, Brussels.
Leo Gabin draws inspiration from the internet‘s wealth of media carnage, private/public personal information and abundance of otherwise seemingly useless material, and builds works exploring the volatile and capricious nature of contemporary youth culture. Violence, sex, smug irony and sly social critique are all filtered through an aesthetic reflective of both recent art world trends and the street art of their youth.
Adapting a multimedia approach to their work, Leo Gabin blends the tradition of painting, drawing, print and sculpture with new media unique to their generation. The party girls from the internet may become the basis for a sculpture, or the the cover of a trashy fashion mag rendered as an expressionist painting, while crude slogans mark their territory across the sacred white canvas on the gallery wall.
Demonstrating that even the most technological and least romantically beautiful invention can be a source and catalyst of artistic expression, Leo Gabin creates timely works, examining the unsavory and often secret things our neighbors, peers and children are freely putting out there.
