Paintings exploring queer desire through aphantasia
11am - 5pm
London-based artist Gavin Dobson is known for his vibrant and expressive artworks, often exploring themes of identity, sexuality, and personal experience.
He has brought together this collection - which delves into both his queer fantasies and memories as an artist with aphantasia - as part of Margate Pride.
Having aphantasia, many of Gavin's paintings have no set starting point, and are created fresh onto the canvas where they continuously evolve in no predetermined way.
Gavin's work has been exhibited in galleries across the UK, gaining attention for its unique playful style and storytelling.
'As a gay man, you spend a lot of time watching. Often, you don't know if the stranger in the distance is gay let alone interested, and it's a risky game to play, so there is often a lot of tension, be it sexual or even social'
