Neville Gabie was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and now lives and works in Stroud, UK.
Gabie’s central concern is in working responsively to specific locations or situations. Those sites are not arbitrary or randomly selected, but fit together, being places in a state of physical or social flux. Working in a range of media from sculpture to film and photography, projects are usually developed over a sustained period of involvement and often a significant part of his practice involves working collaboratively.
He completed his MA in sculpture at the Royal College of Art in 1988. He has undertaken a number of international residences, and has curated and organized off-site projects in the UK. His work has been shown extensively internationally and nationally.
