bio

Douglas Gilbert is an American artist whose practice centers on mark-making in graphite and charcoal on archival paper. His work develops through dense accumulations of intersecting lines constructed through thousands of deliberate marks rather than through traditional contour or tonal modeling. Gilbert forms interwoven fields of line that generate depth, space, and emotional tension, allowing figures, structures, and architectural forms to emerge from abstraction.

 

Gilbert studied at the LaGuardia School of Music & Art in New York City and received a B.F.A. in Painting and a B.A. in History of Art from Cornell University. His recent exhibitions include solo shows at LAPINcontemporary (North Adams, MA) and the Southern Vermont Art Center (Manchester, VT), as well as group exhibitions at the New Marlborough Meeting House (MA), Spencertown Academy (NY), and the New Hampshire Art Association (Portsmouth, NH). 

The artist lives and works in the Berkshire region of Massachusetts.
