Timothy the impala
A twinkletoes impala - delicate and jittery in the wild and on paper. Perfectly captured by Poole's flowing ink strokes
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.
This artwork presents a striking minimalist depiction of an antelope, rendered with economy of line and color. Against a stark white backdrop, the antelope is illustrated with a blend of simplicity and detail, capturing the essence of the animal with minimal brushstrokes.
Pool employs a gradient palette of muted earth tones, transitioning from deep browns to light, sandy hues. This gradient skillfully conveys the natural elegance and slender form of the antelope, with its legs and body subtly shaded to reflect natural light and shadow. The delicate yet intentional use of color draws the viewer's eye along the antelope's form, accentuating its graceful posture. The antelope's horns are detailed with careful attention, curving gracefully upwards and adding a sense of dynamism to the otherwise tranquil composition. Despite the simplicity of the lines, the artwork communicates a sense of motion and vitality, as if the antelope might stride off the canvas at any moment. This piece is a testament to the power of minimalism in art, demonstrating how a few well-placed strokes can evoke the spirit and poise of a living creature. The empty space surrounding the antelope amplifies its presence, allowing viewers to focus on the subtleties of the artist's technique and the inherent beauty of the subject.

Collector’s Guide
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.
