Gamuret isn’t just an artist — he’s a gunslinger of color and chaos, kicking open the saloon doors of the art world with a fistful of spray paint and a devil-may-care grin.
Picture this: a cowboy hat tossed carelessly onto a barn floor, boots caked in paint and dust, and a canvas staring him down like a wild stallion ready to be tamed. Throughout the unruly 90s and the wild surge of the early 2000s, he carved his path in Seattle—a city pulsing with grunge, rain, and rebellion.
Gamuret became the visual voice for the underground—crafting posters and flyers for every kind of band imaginable, from punk rock prophets to country crooners. His art wasn’t made to be caged; it sprawled across the streets, splashed in vibrant defiance on hand-stenciled T-shirts and gritty city walls.
His aesthetic is as bold as his art. Often donning a cowboy hat and boots, he walks the line between outlaw and artist. This rugged flair isn’t just fashion; it’s a statement, a nod to the rebellious spirit that drives his work.
It wasn’t long before Richard Hines, the legendary Seattle gallerist known for catapulting American abstract and pop art icons like Peter Stella, Andy Warhol, and Keith Haring, caught wind of this electric storm of color and chaos. Hines — a man who could sniff out brilliance in the darkest corners — saw in Gamuret not just raw talent but also an unstoppable force. He pushed Gamuret to trade the concrete jungle for canvas, to bring that raw, untamed energy into the gallery space.
It was a dare—and Gamuret accepted.
By 2008, the siren call of New York pulled him in. The city where dreams either burn out or burn brighter. Gamuret thrived, creating personal commissions and injecting life into the local music scene with his visceral, unfiltered artistry. But it wasn’t until 2019 when DTR Modern Gallery recognized the goldmine of creativity in Gamuret’s evolving work, officially bringing him into their fold.
His pieces found homes beyond the walls of galleries—nestled into the sultry corners of Catbird Restaurant in The National and collected in private sanctuaries across the country. Today, his works are proudly available at DTR Modern Gallery, where they continue to captivate and inspire collectors nationwide.
Gamuret’s range is a marvel to behold—from Warhol-esque, pop-infused provocations to the beautifully dark and macabre, where shadows curl around each brushstroke like old friends. This duality is where Gamuret thrives, unbound by genre, unapologetic in his exploration. Watching him evolve is like staring into a supernova—unpredictable, explosive, and impossible to look away from.
Gamuret is not just making art; he’s staging a revolution, one canvas at a time. And for those of us lucky enough to bear witness, the ride has only just begun.
