A Cut Above: Neil Gall’s Newest Works
Angela M.H. Schuster · ART+AUCTION · Blouin Art Info
“Neil Gall’s newest works clearly demonstrate his varied interests, which include representational painting, post-minimalist sculpture, and the tension between abstraction and materiality,” says David Nolan, whose gallery presents “Cut-outs, Offcuts, and Holes,” an exhibition of paintings and drawings by the scottish-born artist opening April 30. Among the 14 works are several depicting loose constructions of Ping-Pong balls and other objects bound together with colored PVC tape; these include 2014’s Yellow (Poussin), far left, and Allegory (Bronzino), left, a “conceptual reworking” of Bronzino’s Allegory with Venus and Cupid, 1545, in London’s National Gallery.
