STEPPE
Steppe is a series of works that express the artist’s spiritual connection to the topographical vastness of her native land. Conjuring the atmospheric emptiness of the vast Eurasian Steppe plains from her London studio, Gali builds layers of colour by sweeping giant brushes over canvas laid on the floor. These works capture the ephemeral nature of colour found wide open spaces. Made in with a succession of pigments and washes, they resemble monumental water colours, and call to mind the soak stain fluidity of Helen Frankenthaller’s paintings and Turner’s epic skies. Like portals into another dimension, she creates an access point for the viewer, to experience something transcendent, works that now grace the walls of private homes, institutions and prestigious venues worldwide.
