Artist + Gabrielle Tolliver
Follow this artistGabrielle Tolliver is a visual artist basing her work primarily in abstraction. Tolliver’s compositions aim to incorporate elements of nature, the human form, emotions, and their relationships. The primary mediums of these works include acrylic paint, watercolor, and ink.
During her studies at Xavier University of Louisiana, Tolliver’s work developed through washes. Each wash is allowed to interact freely with its material and is adjusted through a meditative process of improvisation. By combining intuitive creation and strategic arrangement, the compositions are able to display the beauty of organic forms, juxtapose them with geometric shapes, and speak to their interactions. This careful arrangement of various layers invites the viewer to dive deeply into each piece and reflect on the suggested themes.
Tolliver has showcased work at the Ogden Museum, CICA Museum, M.A.D.S Art Gallery, Ashe Cultural Art Center, and Studio BE. She is also a recipient of grants from the National Performance Network Take Notice Fund, Antenna Artist Grant, Art Council New Orleans Individual Artist Grant, and New Orleans Youth Alliance Rebuilding Our Village Fund.
