The illusion is always clear quite soon after – either explained or obvious. Still it maintains a charm, a magical charm, as if one can catch something between the illusion and the understanding of it.
Gabriel Lester
Gabriel Lester’s (1972, the Netherlands) varied work grows from a desire to tell stories while constructing environments that support these stories, or propose their own narrative interpretation. These artworks seldom convey any explicit message or a singular idea, but rather propose ways to relate to the world, how it is presented and what mechanisms and components constitute our perception and understanding of it.
