Arvee Gibson, an Australian artist based in Western Sydney, specializes in both digital and traditional art with a focus on Surface Design. Their debut solo show, titled ‘Highlight, Zodiac Collection,’ showcases their work. Born on July 13, 1993, in Penrith, Sydney, Arvee has Filipino Australian heritage. Their artistic inspiration draws from both Eastern and Western influences, including tattoo flash and manga.
As an artist, Arvee is committed to creating work that reflects people’s identities. Whether through simple patterns or intricate illustrations, they believe that art serves as an aesthetic language. Interestingly, Queen Victoria once warned, “Beware of Artists; they mix with all classes of society and are therefore the most dangerous.”
Arvee identifies as a multiracial artist who is queer. They’ve often felt marginalized and have found empowerment in taking up space and being visible. In a world where self-erasure can feel like the only path forward, Arvee’s art stands as a powerful assertion of existence and identity.
