Gavin Rain was born in Cape Town on 23 March 1971. He studied Art and Neuropsychology at the University of
Cape Town in the 80’s and 90’s. Rain has been painting his whole live, but started with pointillism around 2003/2004. He is influenced by Seurat, Russian avant garde art of the 1900’s and many architects. Earlier in his live, he planned to study architecture, to try and combine his two interests: art and mathematics.

Up close, Rain’s paintings consist of small concentric circles painted in different colours of acrylic paint. From a distance your eye puts these colours together into one. The further the viewer steps back, the more clear the portrait
becomes.
