"At a time when digital art can be generated by giving prompts to A.I., one anticipates the value and merit of fine art to be hinged on the evidence of human time spent and emotions invested into a work. In that light, multiple series of paintings have been launched which feature subjects as witnessed by the artist in nature, and show inherent evidence of workmanship in the meticulous brushstrokes, layering of color, and rendering of meaning."

"My work aims to uphold and revitalize traditions of Naturalism and Humanism in painting."

Gavin Coates is a painter born in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1999. He works out of his studio in Columbia, Maryland.
