Offroute's weekly Art Inspiration is Ellen Gallagher! Gallagher is a contemporary American artist whose work often explores her biracial ethnicity through artistic means. Born on December 16, 1965 in Providence, RI, Gallagher went on to study at Oberlin College and later received her BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1992. The artist’s work is influenced from a variety of sources, including Agnes Martin's paintings, publications such as Ebony, and the writings of Gertrude Stein. “This idea of repetition and revision is central to my working process-this idea of stacking and layering and building up densities and recoveries,” she has said about her art and creative process. Gallagher currently lives and works between New York, NY and Rotterdam, Netherlands. Today, the artist’s works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, among others. #offroute #art #ellengallagher #womeninart #artinspiration #arthistory #supportartists #supportlocalartists #supportyoungartists #supportsmallbusiness #womanownedbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CONzRYBBeAR/?igshid=12l1qt4gccyej
