Gavin uses elements of Rococco, Classicism and 19th Century realism to elevate trashy subject matter into a grand style. He hopes, in the process, not to forget the humanity of the people portrayed - in this selection - Chanelle Hayes, Kerry Katona and Charlie Uchea(attacked outside the Embassy Club, London, November 2007). His work touches on common themes in contemporary culture such as ambition, celebrity and voyeurism but also reaches for higher ground.
