Drawing on States of Mind and Being
By Peggy Roalf
"From the Marble Hall, a charcoal drawing by Susan Rothenberg, the largest in the show, can be seen in its entirety. Up close, it is an explosion of bold marks; only when stepping back can a viewer assemble the image of a bicycle rider bearing down on the paper’s edges. Here the show begins, with selections from acquisitions of modern and contemporary drawings made over the last ten years."
S&M: Neil Gall in the Studio with John Jones
By John Jones
"Neil Gall is possibly best known for his kinky sounding ‘S&M sculpture paintings’ which echo the disquiet of German artist Hans Belmer’s life-size pre-pubescent dolls which conjure the debris of everyday life into stunted, contorted & amputated characters. Gall’s works are themselves tortured pictures of a tortuous process - fetish-objects in the cult of the artist’s own practice. "
In Conversation with Neil Gall
By Amy E. Brown
"Neil Gall (b. 1967, in Aberdeen, Scotland) is an Artist based in London. He received his BA (Hons) in Painting from Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen and later his diploma from Slade School of Fine Art, London. His works include painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and model making."
"Sculptural agglomerations of everyday objects—Ping-Pong balls taped together, wires twisted into various shapes—serves as the models for Gall's otherwise realistic paintings and drawings."
