lops into a visually pleasing series of works that capture a languid yet elegant mood.
Under these deceptively placid painterly surfaces lies a commentary on social constructs, on identity and race. Gallay explores our perception of race through her use of abstracted forms and tonal contrast — often using multiple skin tones to create the complexion of one figure. To make works that speak to the socio-cultural moment without feeling forced
or overly political is no easy feat, and Gallay succeeds at doing just this.
