Gabriel Stillwater states: "Photography, more than any other art form, is about Time. It freeze-frames the universality that penetrates our lives. It allows us to explore how we simultaneously use €“ and waste €“ the time allotted to us on this earth."
These words describe the philosophy behind Gabriel Stillwater€™s artwork, which allows a closer examination of the deeper reality underlying the obvious. He was born in the United States, but trained as a painter in the Netherlands, in order to follow the tradition of such 15th and 16th century Flemish painters as Jan van Eyck and Peter Breugel, whose paintings €œshow an incident, but portray an entire world.€ Stillwater€™s images bring this universality forward to the present. By adding photographic technology to the historic storytelling techniques of painting, he creates a synthesis for our times.
