In recent years he has been exploring homosexuality through his practice. Looking into various subcultures such as cruising, modern gay living and how the community itself is evolving. 

Queer Subcultures in the U.K. are complex -  often sexual and secret on one hand, and with a determined sense of history and community, of similarity, and a place where anything goes.  

'As a gay man you spend a lot of time watching, dreaming, fantasizing and narrating. Often you don't know if the stranger in the distance is gay let alone interested, and it's a risky game to play, so there is often a lot of tension in several ways. Be it sexual or even social'

Many groups have been effected historically by hate. Queer men are particularly effected by shame, about not being enough, a strange battle between vulnerability and the ideas behind what is masculine? As a gay man it can sometimes feel like a tight rope to fit into the ideas of who you are supposed to be in various situations, both in the queer community and wider society itself. A topic which Gavin is exploring more in upcoming artwork.

Recent exhibitions include ING Discerning Eye at the Mall Galleries, Queer Frontier’s with Artiq, Focus 22 at The Design Centre, Choose Love at The Soho Revue, The Other Art Fair and Contemporary British Painting at the Bermondsey Project Space. Several of Gavin’s paintings are currently on display at The Hoxton Hotel in Southwark in conjunction with Saatchi.
