JULS GABS
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
Juls Gabs is a London based artist with a multidisciplinary
approach that includes Painting, Augmented Reality, Social
Media art, and NFT.
Her practice is working toward Celebrating Diversity &
Telling the story of migration. Creating paintings with
hidden QR codes that when you scan them transport
you to a AR deeper version of the painting's concept. The
paintings propose alternative urban landscapes that
coexist with nature, raising awareness of the impact of
climate change and taking action to support carbon reduction.
By merging The Digital and Physical, the artist
demands the progress we all imagine and already own.
She aims to provide the most accessible experiences for
the audience. She introduces the paintings into everyday
Apps to provide an immersive experience of her
imagery and to stretch the concepts. She portraits you:
Your WhatsApp profile, your Netflix preferences, your
Amazon recommendations, She uses it all. The classic
oil+linen portrait is now substituted by algorithms in accounts.
Every Netflix query, Google search and Pinterest
save is your portrait. And she paints you with all of them.
She imagines the Paintings invading streets, democratising
the space and decolonising the roads with digital.
The aim is to connect society using paintings and collectively
create limitless dialogues.
