Art has the power to foster understanding, empathy and solidarity.

"My work is mostly about the human figure. Strong textures add dimension and depth; my figures are rather carved onto the canvas than painted." - Gerald Tabata

Gerald Tabata's work has a documentary feel, becoming a photographic-like record of the comings and goings of his subjects; simplifying their physical form and alluding to the absolute fullness of their lives.
