Gabriel Neale is a British artist born in 1978. And that's about all the biographical detail I can muster. Some folks just keep a low profile on the internet. But you can see his work, which has evolved dramatically over the last seven years or so. It began as graphic illustration-like work depicting bleak interpretations of daily existence in modern England, with stylized figures echoing the work of
Egon Schiele . It has since morphed into a hyper-horror show of the human body in which sex, birth and death are all equated as a grotesque parade of bodily transformation. His work is not for the squeamish. And yet, that graphics look still still lingers, giving the work a certain degree of playfulness that attracts the viewer even while the subject matter repels. The result is compelling.
