NEW YORK, NY.- Alexander Berggruen announced representation of Gabriel Mills. The gallery will hold its next solo show with the artist in Fall 2025.

Gabriel Mills (b. 1992, New Rochelle, NY) creates both thickly layered abstractions and realistic scenes, embracing a self that contains multitudes. In his work, painting becomes a symbolic act through layering and erasure. His abstractions feature textured, topographical surfaces that strike a balance between atmosphere and materiality, evoking both celestial and terrestrial landscapes.

His uniquely constructed titles stem from a linguistic game he developed while working as a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he rearranged words from museum displays based on their formal properties. This exploration of language parallels his artistic process, as he continuously builds and revises in a gesture of deep reflection. Speaking about the roles of faith, Christianity, and spirituality in his work, Mills stated: “Each mark is a thought, each thought is a mark. Painting is an extension and affirmation of my being.”

The Fall 2025 solo show will be the artist's third solo presentation with the gallery following the solo booth at The Armory Show (September 7-10, 2023) and Gabriel Mills: Butterfly March (October 19-November 19, 2022).

His work was also included in the gallery's group shows Ted Gahl, Dustin Hodges, Gabriel Mills, Anna Ting Möller, Soumya Netrabile, Kaifan Wang (January 17-February 21, 2024) and Elana Bowsher, Vicente Matte, Gabriel Mills (June 2–July 14, 2021).

Mills received an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art, New Haven, CT and a BFA in Illustration and Art History from the University of Hartford, Hartford, CT. Recent solo exhibitions include Aunechei, The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; Udaya, François Ghebaly, Los Angeles, CA; TIDSOPTIMIST, Micki Meng, San Francisco, CA; and Butterfly March, Alexander Berggruen, New York, NY. His work has been featured in group exhibitions at Museum of African Diaspora, San Francisco, CA; Museu Inimá de Paula, Minas Gerais, Brazil; K11 Musea, Hong Kong, CN; New York Historical, NY; Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX; Pelham Art Center, Pelham, NY; Galerie ISA, Mumbai; and Alexander Berggruen, New York, NY. In 2021, he was an artist in residence at MASS MoCA. The artist’s work is held in public collections including: The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; The High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, FL; The Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX; New York Historical, NY; Museu Inima De Paula, Minas Gerais, Brazil; and X Museum of Contemporary Art, Beijing, CH. Mills lives and works in New Haven, CT.

Gabriel Mills: Butterfly March was published on the occasion of the gallery’s eponymous exhibition, which ran from October 19-November 19, 2022. This catalogue features an essay by artist, writer, curator, and translator Paul D’Agostino; an interview between curator and writer Danni Shen and the artist Gabriel Mills; and a poem by artist, educator, adjunct professor, and arts professional Rebecca Mills.
