Gabriel Allen was born in Savannah, GA in 2001 and raised in San Antonio, TX. He received his BFA in Graphic Design in 2024 from the University of Alabama. His studio-based practice utilizes an interdisciplinary framework to examine the intersections between media overstimulation, consumerism, authorship, and illusion. He works with appropriated materials from print, broadcast, and internet media as a form of inquiry into the evolution of communication and market-driven consumption. He currently lives in the Atlanta area and is a MFA Photography student in the Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design at Georgia State University.
