In this in-depth look at her oeuvre, Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith unpacks the complexities of her richly layered paintings, examining themes such as identity, race, displacement and the ecological environment, which Gallagher has explored throughout her work. The author takes the reader from Gallagher's early years - looking at her formative influences - through her engagement, from the late 1990s on, with the inherited modernist forms of the monochrome and the grid and with the violence and division at the root of modernism itself. Also explored are her phantasmagoric explorations of oceanic life, which draw on the discoveries of natural science, the traumatic history of the Atlantic slave trade and the speculative fictions of Afrofuturism. For anyone interested in contemporary art and the ways particular artists are expanding its borders, in form and content, this is essential reading. 600 10 $a Gallagher, Ellen, $d 1965- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Gallagher, Ellen, $d 1965- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00385688 650 0 $a Art, American $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art, American $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 12 $a Gallagher, Ellen, $d 1965- $t Works. $k Selections. 830 0 $a Contemporary painters series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=62231450DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
