Gayle Mandle
Collection 2024
“…my paintings tell stories with current socio-political themes of environment, human rights, emotions and politics. I create them abstractly, juxtaposing the real with the imagined. I layer my archival photographs with the gestures of paint and various textures. I often write and erase text, mixing it with old ledger papers and handwriting of others. My process involves continual adding and editing, the story revealed and then partially veiled to engage in a “hide and seek dialogue” with the observer.”
