Visual Poetics--Art by Gabe Gott

Exhibition Reception: Saturday, September 14, 6pm-9pm

Literature and visual art have a long history of interconnectivity, with a few artists being known for both. William Blake, for example, mixed poetry and painting in what he called ͞”illuminated printing” in Songs of Innocence and Experience and other works. This exhibition will exist at this intersection, where visual art and literature merge.

Gabe Gott lives in Akron, Ohio, with his wife, Sarah. He has degrees in English from Kent State University and The University of Akron. Gabe was the March 2018 Akron Soul Train artist-in-residence, during which he wrote, designed, and published a poetry chapbook, Idiot Parade, which features his blackout poetry. A print of his blackout poem, “Fools Faces,” was featured in the Curated Storefront Front Triennial Exhibition. He has published a novel, two flash fiction chapbooks, and two poetry collections. His writing has appeared The Cult Magazine, Misplaced Identity, Literally Literary, The Devil Strip, Insomnia & Obsession, Red Fez, Flash Fiction Magazine and 50-to-1.
