Neil Gall
Neil Gall's art is a new kind of eccentric and erotic abstraction, and it's one that knows no confines: he crosses easily from painting to collage to sculpture, sometimes depicting his playful, lo-fi sculptures in sharply observed paintings, sometimes using painted backdrops as foils for his sculptures. What binds his work together is an inclination to dark playfulness: he makes his sculptures from inspired tangles of materials, from coloured string, chicken wire, cardboard tubes, rope and flex to mirror and duct tape. Sometimes they form faintly pictorial arrangements, like abstract paintings (Cast, 2003); sometimes they form sinister, tightly bound fetish objects (Bather, 2006). But in every case his creations have personality that is distinct and unsettling.
