Gab Bois

Gab Bois, an avid artist who’s interested in honing her skills and revealing the compelling quality of the everyday, mundane objects, notably food, technology, and fashion. Taking inspiration from her childhood experiences of playing pretend, she induces a distinct element of fantasy to her body of bizarre tableaux and whimsical props. Gab, through her unique visual language, with the mix of informed design, fashion, pop culture and advertising, approaches the ‘common’ with a sharp sense of wit and humor.

Coming from an era with the popularity of the selfie boom, self-representation is something that Gab Boi’s work adheres to and can be observed as a recurring theme, invoking a sense of relatability and resonance from her audience.

With such peculiar intimacy, Bois transports us to a world of her own wherein cocktail dresses are made out of Scrabble tiles and clam shells can double as pocket mirrors. 

Her work is a place where the double entendre of hyperrealism and the commonness of the familiar object happily coexist. Through her graphic imagery and artistry she challenges the viewer to ponder over what they are seeing as an audience, and at the same time, modifying their perception of reality. Having a deep interest in paradox, Bois positions her work at the intersection of reality and simulation, Futurism and nostalgia, affect and object. With a practice focusing on photography, video direction and object design, Bois has her foot in many doors. While versatile in mediums and disciplines, her body of work is tied together by a distinct thread of recurring themes and subjects. Self-taught on all fronts, Bois’ curiosity and passion for bringing concepts to reality is what keeps her practice ever-evolving.
