Mother and Child
A mother Hippopotamus and her offspring. Hippos so graceful in the water and lumbering on land. Hippos are very protective of their children.
Gabrielle Pool's ink drawings on paper are inspired by her years living in Africa and are simple and charming. Using an unforgiving medium she produces portraits of African animals that are delicately poised between reality and abstraction with an underlying humour that reflects a positive vision of the world.
Utilizing negative space with masterful precision, the artist captures the essence of these creatures through fluid brushstrokes and a limited color palette. The mother hippo is rendered with a mixture of diffuse and well-defined strokes evoking a sense of nurturing and protection, as the adult hippo appears to guide her child.
This composition underscores the beauty of simplicity, inviting viewers to appreciate the elegance found in minimalism. Signed with a fluid, almost calligraphic flair at the bottom, the signature subtly integrates itself into the artwork, suggesting a seamless bond between the artist's identity and their creation. This piece stands out not only for its artistic skill but also for its emotional resonance, capturing a tender moment between a parent and child in an exquisitely refined manner.

Presentation
New Zealand-born artist, Gabrielle Pool has been exhibiting since 1993 when she had her first solo show in Chiba-Ken at the age of 16. Since then her paintings and mixed media works have been exhibited in solo and group shows in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, the US, the UK, Greece and the Bahamas.
Gabrielle was partly schooled in Japan, where her teacher, Mori Sensei, provided her with early inspiration. This led to a powerful and lasting oriental influence. In 2004 she began to record several of the world's vanishing tribes – the Hamer Tribe in Ethiopia, the Maasai of Kenya, and more recently, the Indigenous women artists of Utopia in Australia's Northern Territory. Gabrielle immersed herself in tribal life, often using sacred body paint pigments in her work.
“My painting has always been driven by a desire to preserve and record the history of ancient people and their environments, in a world that seems to be trying its very best to eradicate them and 'civilise' them."
In 2005 Gabrielle was invited by Nelson Mandela to travel to Africa to collaborate in the production of the Unity Series, alongside 20 other leading international artists. The works depicted the five phases of Mandela's life, culminating in his vision for the future, launched at the World Economic Forum at Davos in Switzerland in the same year. In 2007, Gabrielle was the subject of an hour-long TVNZ documentary about her career as an artist, while National Geographic Australia posted a feature article about her challenging views as an explorer.
