Gavin Rain

Meet Gavin Rain

Painter of pixels. Architect of meaning.

Gavin Rain’s work lives at the intersection of mathematics, emotion, and soul. Known globally for his signature style of neo-pointillism, Gavin constructs large-scale portraits and icons from hundreds of meticulously painted dots — each one placed with intention, each one meaningless alone, powerful in the whole.

At Nanoosh, we chose Gavin as our first featured artist not just for his global acclaim, but for the message embedded in his medium: that what’s seen from a distance is built from thousands of invisible choices. It’s the perfect metaphor for the kind of beauty we believe in.

His work is bold, layered, luminous — a visual representation of complexity, clarity, and deep care.

“My art is not about what you see, but how far you have to stand back to see it.”
