Contemporary Canadian Artist
Toronto artist Gareth Bate works in painting, installation, photography, video, performance, set design and online.
The relationships between people and the environment, our place in the universe, and a search for personal meaning are principle themes in Gareth's work. It addresses the spiritual in a naturalistic world view. His approach is intuitive, and emotionally driven with a strong interest in experimenting with materials.
Yearly Newsletter Update
Over the last year Gareth has been focused on creating two new bodies of work in painting, a large set design installation for a dance company in Montreal, teaching painting and launching my web design business.
