Inside Gabriel Moses' brilliant new exhibition, opening tomorrow 🖤
’s oil paintings, the models and artists in Moses’ photographs aren’t subjects but rather characters, entry points into riotous, mystical worlds., when you look at his body of work, people were just turning up to his studio and you’d see these different characters. I love the idea of creating characters,” Moses explains. “When you see, you see people becoming characters. You see Skepta as a character, you see certain models as characters.
I loved the way [Sidibé] portrayed everyday people. I’ve always loved that diversity in the casting.”Self-taught, Moses largely draws from ancestral memory passed down in the form of family photographs. “I look at old family photos of my grandma and I think, what is it that I love about this image?” Moses explains. “The contrast of the image, the textures, the colours, the way in which my grandma was super into coordinating her stuff in a certain way. Or certain tones, even certain Nigerian events. They’d all wear a certain fabric and everyone’s in the same colour. I try to understand, ‘What is it about this texture that I like that gives me that feeling?’” says Moses.
When speaking about his artistic practice, Moses repeatedly refers to the idea of “the one per cents,” the granular details that elevate a work of art. “With every project, I overthink the palette. What tones are we putting together? How do they work together?” says Moses.
“I’m 24 and I mention that because I’m very keen on learning,” says Moses. “But I’m very excited to step into that direction. It’s a world I approach with relaxed energy, with no pressure.”
