"This publication brings together over 60 works on paper created from 2005 to the present day by London-based artist Neil Gall (born 1967, Aberdeen), whose works balance the profound with the absurd.

In works that buzz with art historical reference, Gall has consistently explored matters of perception and mimesis through the visual language of household detritus. He translates the visceral and psychological interactions between materials and their surfaces corrugated cardboard and pressed tinfoil, ping-pong balls enshrouded in black tape to an unsettling, surreal and sometimes erotic effect.

Essays by art historian Lexi Lee Sullivan and artist Alexander Ross are augmented by thoughtful insights from gallerist George Newall and an introduction from Gall's dealers David Nolan and Aurel Scheibler.

AUTHOR: Lexi Lee Sullivan is Associate Curator for Fidelity Investments. She was previously Assitant Curator at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Massachusetts, before which she worked at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
