Gabby Malpas is an artist living and working on Gadigal Lands of the Eora Nation. As a Chinese adoptee raised by white parents in NZ, Gabby considers and challenges the western tradition of Chinoiserie with her own narrative in paintings and ceramics. The resulting works are beautiful and delicate with stories that draw the viewer in for a closer look, offering a sometimes calculated contrast to the confronting messages presented. She is a proud maximalist.
