H.S. Gabor: Together

"I was the 13 year old sitting on the floor with pencil and paper suddenly struck by a wonderful epiphany. I can draw. They can't. After Music & Art High School I attended the Cooper Union Art School and studied under Robert Gwathmey, Nicholas Marsicano, and Rudolf de Harak among others. After that came a career in advertising as art director, writer and creative director. I won many awards and my hilltop commercial, "Buy the World a Coke" is in the Advertising Hall of Fame. I was also represented by American Artists with my black and white style appearing in everything from Redbook magazine to posters and print ads for the New York Racing Association. I've won several awards from the New York Illustrators Club. Now, mercifully, I'm back to my first love, fine art, and a newfound joy with the giclee print. So after a full career, I like to say I'm an emerging artist, now in full color. I try to show a counterpoint of different rhythms with a color palette that seems fresh or surprising. I want my work to have an emotional response."

This New York State artist creates intimate line drawings, which are then scanned into the computer where actual clothing and furnishings patterns and other artistic embellishments are skillfully imposed to create the whole, beautiful artworks. All of these are giclee prints on radiant white archival watercolor paper, in limited editions, signed and numbered by the artist in the margins.

"OK, so it's lesbian art.
Kate was my friend for 45 years. She was out when coming out of the closet was still playing hide and seek, and an outing was a blanket, some ants, and a picnic table. Kate understood that life's greatest passage was discovering who you are. And then wrapping your arms around it. Kate never lived long enough to see my new artwork. But I still see her - head cocked, giving me an oh-you-bad-boy arched forever eyebrow, desperately trying to stifle a smile. Kate, these are for you."
