GABE’s innovations and rich depth do not have him yearning for the sixties. This man has always carried an art with vision--way ahead of his time—and his storytelling images will assure his place in the history books.
GABE began in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and in high school moved to Hershey, the chocolate town. Served a tour in the Navy, gaining impressions worldwide. Over a year hitchhiking from the east coast to the west coast.
GABE found a home in Greenwich Village. A major gallery exhibit in 1969 of GABE originals was a success and printed in the Village Voice. Studying in Stockholm, Sweden, for nine months after several European trips.
GABE discovered New York City a bit unsettling in the late sixties. Moved outside Woodstock, NY, collecting unemployment, heard Boston beckoning him with a new job. This, a much better environment for his art, he rented 4,000 square feet of warehouse space overlooking the entire Boston harbor. Wrote Green Flash over St. Vincent and Caribbean Fever. Created Art constantly for over 35 straight years. Check it out at: gabeartinc.com
NEW YORK CITY, off Union Square, Max’s Kansas City Restaurant, were the breeding grounds for GABE’s pop art sixties inspirations.

In 2008 GABE bought a huge and beautiful home for a more relaxed life at the beach - in Virginia Beach, VA with his new wife Minowtie.
ROY LICHTENSTEIN was assured red-velvet seating at Max’s. The Warhol clan signed ‘Andy’ on anything from bar bills to napkins. Janis Joplin could not be recognized at the end of the bar. Dylan popped in. Mick Jagger was overlooked for VIP treatment.
GABE was manager / maitre’d / host at the center of the Art world, and in the thirty-five years that followed, displayed his most prolific artistic talent.
