Gavin Rain, born in Cape Town in 1971, is believed to be one of the greatest contemporary representatives of neo-pointillism or pixelism. Using acrylic like a TV or PC screen, Rain creates his images using simulated pixels. Hence the technique called “hidden in plain sight”. At a close distance, Rain’s paintings appear to be an abstract and punctiform set of colors, but if the spectator moves away, up to a certain distance calculated by the artist, he can then see the subject of the painting: the faces of international showbiz icons.
