ARTIST INFO
Gabby Malpas
Sydney
Gabby Malpas is a graduate of the Otago Art School, Dunedin NZ with a major in ceramics 1986.
Gabby challenges the centuries-old European tradition of Chinoiserie with her own narrative as a Chinese adoptee raised by
white parents in NZ.
The resulting works are beautiful, delicate but with stories that draw the viewer in for a closer look. This is a calculated contrast
to the sometimes confronting messages within her work.
A proud maximalist, Gabby currently resides in Sydney, Australia
