Ellen Gallagher

Ellen Gallagher's lithograph employs the artist's characteristic layering of abstraction and figuration to create a complex visual field that resists singular interpretation. Working in colored lithography on the premium Rives BFK paper, Gallagher builds compositional depth through her signature vocabulary of organic forms, gestural marks, and fragmented references that oscillate between representation and pure abstraction. The full margins preserved in this print emphasize the work's status as a deliberate artistic object while allowing the viewer to experience the complete aesthetic intention of the artist's hand.

Medium
Lithograph in colors, on Rives BFK paper, with full margins.
