Patricia Sweetow Gallery is thrilled to present The Charles Laughton Papers by Bay Area artist James Gobel.
The Charles Laughton Papers were extensively researched and meticulously composed, an exquisite and important body of work in the oeuvre of James Gobel. The series debuted in 2020 in San Francisco; however, due to the onset of the pandemic, the exhibition received little visibility.
James Gobel’s works are made with hand-cut felt, embroidery thread and paint. Resembling tapestries, the mosaic of both wool and acrylic felt, meticulously positioned, have depicted Gobel’s figurative and abstract compositions for over 20 years. The method of construction is a creation of Gobel’s own invention. The subject matter over the course of his career has steadfastly centered around the queer male body.
