Beau Gabriel is an American artist living and working in London, UK. He graduated from Yale University with a degree in literature and then moved to France where he worked in a law office, studied baroque oboe at Versailles, and ultimately took up painting. He came to London in 2017, where he obtained an MA from the Royal College of Art. Gabriel uses traditional notions of formalism and materiality to express his American upbringing, relationship to history, and authorial role as a painter.
