Gab Bois is a Canadian artist. She creates objects out of unusual materials.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Bois grew up in Montréal.[5] As an only child, she found herself drawn to arts and crafts. Her father is a painter. She often would sit in his basement studio and watch him paint. He taught her about art history. She credits him with guiding her to her eventual career.[8] She was active on Tumblr as a teenager.[9]
Bois went to college for a degree to become an elementary school teacher. One-and-a-half years into her degree, she started posting her photography on Instagram. Her work got so much attention that she decided to pause her degree and pursue an artistic career.[1]
In 2018, Bois posted an image of a hot pink Croc heel which she made with a knockoff Croc from a dollar store and a second-hand stripper heel which was inspired by a Croc created by Balenciaga.[10]
Bois created a bra out of sunny side up eggs for easter-inspired post.[11]
In 2020, Bois published New Album: An Artist Book. The book was created in partnership with Anteism Books, an independent publisher in Montreal. It is a record of the first three years of her work.[1]
In late 2023, Bois released a ready-to-wear collection, Canapés.[12] In 2024, she released more items as part of Canapés, including a square-toed pair of sandals with a lifelike clementine heel.[13] [14]
