About Gayle
From gayleebose.com:
Gayle Ebose uses the process of portrait painting to encapsulate the joys and mundanities of everyday Christian living in the 21st century. Her portraits serve as a way to preserve the testimony of how God sustains His people, transforms their character and equips them for life as sojourners on earth. This enquiry places both Ebose and her subject’s telling their story at the centre as they navigate life’s experiences through the body and skin they are in.
Her work reflects on the beauties and intricacies of motherhood, femininity, the trials of illness and the fragilities that come with an ever-changing, perishable body.
The subjectivity of her portraits gives them agency, they are conversational and unapologetic in their presence. Each painting invites us to contemplate our own existence and inner wellbeing and gently points us to the awareness of God and how He fearfully and wonderfully makes us in His image.
