HP BILLBOARD HIGHLIGHT for local artist Matthew Gavrilles, whose piece “Sinus Like Cavern, Face of Fire” is on view off Wells Avenue at Kuenzli 🔥Gavrilles is a mixed-media artist exploring issues of identity, presentation, and mental health through his work. He is currently studying art at the University of Nevada, Reno while contributing to the local art and music scene, where the diverse range of perspectives inform his approach to visual art. “This work is a part of a larger project of mine, serving as an outlet to process my interactions with identity, sexuality, and grief. I focus on depicting human bodies and faces, allowing for relatability of concepts otherwise difficult to explain. My mixed media approach to this piece and others in the series is a part of expanding my process, allowing for multiple iterations of a work using vastly different mediums and combining them, as well as a more therapeutic perspective on the creation of art.” Don’t miss this #hpbillboard and take a detour to see it on your next commute 🩷 thank you always City of Reno and Nevada Humanities for making this project possible.

Piece done for @hpgalleries billboard series, and a part of a larger mixed media project of mine 🏄 huge thanks to the wonderful peeps of HP galleries for giving me the opportunity to share my work! Reno babies go see it downtown while it’s up!
