Gabriel Mills (b. 1992, New Rochelle, NY) is an artist whose painting practice sits at the convergence of several themes; among them are time, transformation, love, language, weight, and spirituality. His canvas serves as a platform for a versatile array of painting methods, showcasing musings on the complexities of experience through cadences of dense topographical consistencies, smooth atmospheric surfaces, and enigmatic arrangements of images.
