About

Gavin has both a Diploma of Visual Arts from Victoria University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts - Painting from The Victorian College of the Arts.
Gavin has had both success here in Australia and abroad.

Gavin describes his artwork as being confronting and honest. He likes to produce works that have the potential to make people feel uncomfortable. The subjects he often deals with are usually based around raw emotion and are often topics that people tend to turn a blind eye too.

In 2007 two of Gavin's works were featured in the coffee table book "The Worlds Greatest Erotic Art of Today" which was sold worldwide. In 2008 these works were also featured in a traveling exhibition titled "Art Undressed" and were shown in major galleries in Miami. Los Angeles, New York, London, Berlin and Amsterdam.

In 2009 Gavin's work "Don't Fucken Tell Anyone - A Tribute to abuse" was a finalist in the $10,000 Manning Art Prize and five of his other works from his "Revenge is a Corpse Best Served Cold" series were acquired by "The Cunningham Dax Collection" as part of their permanent acquisitions.

In 2010 Gavin released his first fine art book titled: "Strange Happenings - Inside the Mind of Mental Illness" and won third prize in The Red Ribbon Awards for his piece titled "Get Stupid - the complacency of Aids"

Also in 2010, for the second time, Gavin was voted as one of the worlds top Erotic artists. His work "RAW" is to be featured in The coffee Table book "The Worlds Greatest Erotic Art of Today Volume 4" and will also be feature in the "Art Undressed" touring Exhibition which begins in the spring of 2011.

Gavin has also had works featured in "Trouble" magazine, the art journal "Taj Mahal Review" and numerous high profile exhibitions.
