Gabe Nechamkin

When asked by a reporter outside his art room, Gabriel Nechamkin quoted” It is with this information that I am given the raw material to build a foundation for the artwork. Often the ideas or concepts will race through my mind as a natural progression of word associations that from an outsider's perception would be view as nothing more than randomness.” Gabriel Nechamkin’s randomness is nothing but simplicity and adoration to art. These are then mixed with feelings and emotions that are stimulated during the process. “The journey of the making of the art moves me forward along this path” says Gabriel in a mild tone. Sometime this is a path that is organized and goes through the best part of the neighbourhoods and other time this path is a little more scary, let’s just say a little more primal and less refined, as Gabe’s have said many times before, "The brighter the light, the darker the shadow". You just need to have a strong conviction and push your way through to the other side. All of these things mixed together define why I make Art. According to Gabriel Nechamkin, this is what fills his life with purpose and meaning.
