Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish
The exhibition "Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish" at Gagosian Ponthieu, Paris, presents a series of three large-scale paintings by Ellen Gallagher, created between 2023 and 2026. These works are built upon sheets of ruled, gridded paper stained pink, layered with thick pigment and incised palladium leaf. Gallagher employs a sculptural approach, often working paintings from multiple positions.
Gallagher's paintings explore themes related to the ocean, merging Post-Minimalist abstraction with imagined underwater landscapes. Her practice is informed by an interest in the ocean, as seen in her film installation "Osedax." The "Fast-Fish and Loose-Fish" paintings feature compositional grids that break into vibrant lines and biomorphic shapes, creating phantasmal worlds.
