Gal Schindler
Overview
Gal Schindler (b.1993) confronts the often conflicting way women's bodies are represented in contemporary culture. Her paintings are populated by strong, solitary figures who convey a tangible sense of their own agency. Via a process of subtraction, Schindler creates each figure by scoring into a wet top layer of paint, revealing a contrasting underpainted colour. With dynamic and angular mark making, this technique lends her paintings a kinetic energy. Her sources, which range from Ancient Mesopotamian-Semitic figurines to more contemporary images, lead Schindler's women to take on an indeterminate timelessness.
