Ellen Gallagher Presents 'Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish' Paintings at Gagosian Paris
Gagosian's Paris gallery on rue de Ponthieu is showing Ellen Gallagher's exhibition 'Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish' until May 23. The display centers on three major paintings created from 2023 to 2026, including one previously seen at Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum. These works are constructed on canvas-backed gridded paper stained pink, layered with heavy impasto and palladium leaf. Gallagher employs a sculptural method, manipulating the paintings from various angles to break grids into lively lines and organic forms, blending Post-Minimalist abstraction with undersea imagery to reflect on themes of possession and liberation.
