Bio:
Gabrielle Torres' work seeks to expose the balance between materiality and meaning. Her art aims to decompose compartmentalization, blurring the lines of what we, humanity, presume to know. She uses materiality as the foundation, and at times the focus, in an attempt to engender questions and thoughts from her audience. Torres was born in Philadelphia, PA, and currently resides in Savannah, GA. She recently completed the MFA program in painting at Savannah College of Art and Design. Although Philadelphia, PA is her birthplace Sumter, SC, is where she was raised, attending Lander University for Visual Arts. Torres now teaches at Savannah College of Art and Design while pursuing her career as an artist. She shows regularly with September Gray Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia, where she recently partnered for gallery representation.
Torres has recently been featured in the Savannah Connect magazine and The Savannahian. She currently has a solo show installed at the September Gray Gallery in Atlanta, GA. Her work has been in several solo shows thus far in her blossoming career; Torres' show Wilton Street Rhythm was on display at Sulfur Studio from March to April. Sulfur Studio also chose Torres as it's August 2022 resident. Torres had the privilege of working for the talented artist Suzanne Jackson, from whom she gains much inspiration. Currently, her focus is to continue to use her platform in the arts to create a conversation and use site-specific relational art to form a bond with specific audiences she would like to reach.
