Gabriel Vormstein's Art Style

Gabriel Vormstein centers his artistic focus on the themes of transience, futility, and temporality, employing a distinct and acute visual language. He explores these themes by reevaluating the traces of time and the historical art movements that have emerged and faded, challenging established criteria in art and the materials employed.

His primary medium is newspapers, often considered a 'low,' povera, and impermanent artistic material. Vormstein incorporates a process of covering the grids of information and advertisements found on recycled paper newspapers with pencil and paint. As a result, the final paintings emerge as layered compositions, synthesizing diverse meanings and substances.
