Gabriel Lester’s artwork, films, performances and installations originate from a desire to tell stories and construct environments that support these stories or propose their own narrative interpretation. In early years this led to writing prose and composing electronic music. Later, after studying cinema and eventually fine arts, Lester’s artworks became what could be typified as cinematographic, without necessarily employing film or video. Like cinema, his practice has come to embrace all imaginable media and occupy both time and space. Lester’s artworks propose a tension span and are either implicitly narrative, explicitly visual or both at once, but always unresolved and blurred enough for the spectator to employ his or her own focus shifts.
