Gabi is an artist and a Senior Lecturer on the BA (Hons) Fine Art course leading on the L4 delivery; prior to this role she acquired an extensive portfolio of teaching both in her role as an artist and as an academic. Gabi has worked in the UK, France and Russia in her previous educational roles and has enjoyed a broad level of educational experience.

Romanian/British artist Gabi Boiangiu studied at the Arts University, Bucharest before moving to the UK to do her Masters at Bradford School of Art and Design. Gabi has been teaching both in FE and HE since 2003 and graduated the PGCE at University of Huddersfield in 2007.

With a long-term interest in collaborative practices, Gabi has undertaken multiple extensive projects engaging both with other visual artists as well as the audience. Gabi’s practice continues to investigate the domestic in relation to class and gender issues. Recent collaborative work - Drawing Dialogue - investigates the notion of ownership in visual arts and its role to developing new creative ideas. Gabi’s practice is multidisciplinary and project based, exploring visual and material possibilities in given environments.
