The Rena Bransten Gallery is pleased to present four ceramic sculptures by Dennis Gallagher. The selection shows Gallagher’s interest in forms and the figure, and his gouged and scored surfaces reflect his focus on the expressive use of the ceramic medium. Pushing the limits of clay, Gallagher’s large forms are stacked vertically, the composition of heavy sections often precariously cantilevered:
“Gallagher’s sculpture seems to refer to archaeological specimens, but his intention is to discover fortuitous joinings of disparate configurations and their attendant emotional qualities. Usually, this involves the tensions generated from juxtapositions of edges, curves, and contours of massive geometric bodies.”—Alfred Jan
