Colorful threads and geometrical precision: these are the core elements of Gabriel Dawe’s work, a young creative from Mexico City whose work is now appreciated around the world. His work combines colorful fashion and design workds with a Mexican touch. 

His art installations feature fabric rainbows made of countless threads anchored to nails and hooks to create optical motifs in the air. Dawe’s work is a tribute yet a critic to his homeland, where only women can wear vivid colors due to the strong chauvinism of both Mexican and contemporary culture. Large conceptual installations creating an imaginary world where to rest on a colorful cloud.
