Gabrielle Bakker

Gabrielle Bakker has created a world in which Minotaurs mingle with geishas and various mythical characters. Beautifully executed, her paintings combine diverse formal and historical means in achieving a rich and compelling imagery. Masterfully painted, Bakker's work has a clarity and light rarely seen in our time.
