Juls Gabs The Terrace of Gloucester 2020
360˚ painting public on Google Maps
Work from collection Google Earth car crashed my house and stole my NFT's
This paintings are visible on Google for anyone walking the net, as public paintings on the upside-down version of our Earth. Paintings of the urban space, a gratify version of your city. I aim to provide the most accessible experiences for the audience to play with the complex and fun lives of the characters. This is why I use platforms from the Web 2 system instead of jumping into Web 3. I want the visitor to discover the painting casually as they walk into their everyday Apps. I introduce the paintings in Google or Social Media to provide an immersive experience of my imagery and to stretch the concepts out of the canvas frame, up to 360˚ around. 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
I demand the progress we all imagine and already own
I paint political situations/comparisons between history and the immediate future/desires of society. I paint rights and possibilities, visibility and change. I portrait you: Your WhatsApp profile, your Netflix preferences, your Amazon recommendations, I use 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 I paint you with all of them //
I see My Painting invading streets, democratising the space and decolonising the roads with digital. I see exhibitions in atypical locations where the walls of the gallery are no longer needed, but we continue to bring people together. The aim is to connect society using the works and collectively create limitless dialogues //
