WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS KILLING DONE?
We speak with the language of war. We laugh with the language of peace. Knowing that all life is born of crisis, punctuated by brief periods of solace, we also know that after all is said and done, we shall never cheat infinity, nor shall we extinguish the mark of a single thought.

About Me
- Gabriel Thy
- Washington, DC
- Concerning the veracity of paint, I presume that my art begins from a "condition of need" and is a matter of ambiguous perception with carry-on luggage both in political and metaphysical terms. Each painting I complete is the conflicted subconscious on the prowl for brutal honesty, urged to sniff out those personal heresies residing somewhere between a humble arrogance and an arrogant humility, harnessing hidden energies which instruct the flow of imagination. Rarely do I start with a pre-conceived notion of what "I would like to imagine" but instead, I struggle against the common elements of mind and materials the status quo presents. So, when painting, I follow the paint from first splash to finished canvas, making choices of color, syntax, and narrative, limited by what I see on the canvas.
