Creating art that invites the viewer to ponder and explore is Deborah Gall’s primary goal. A passion for excellence, beauty, and things spiritual is reflected in paintings that also reflect her love of texture and color, light and mystery. Cohesive in its brilliant hues and high-relief texture the body of work is diverse in its images and palettes. Clients often describe Deborah’s work as bold in color, peaceful in emotion; it is work that draws them into the painting. The work embodies the power of divine love as it interprets the vision within Deborah’s spirit.
A painting begins with a randomly placed layer of modeling paste to create underlying texture. The first layer of acrylic paint in saturated hues is added in a three-step process using palette knives, wet brush, and cheesecloth. Details, highlights, and lowlights are meticulously added layer upon layer, wet over dry, producing an impasto piece with both depth and movement. The final touch of metallic paint embellishes the image and increases drama and punch of the piece. All work is done with palette knives.
“ My creative passage to seek “What if” without reliance on rule and boundary offers, at the end of a good day, work that is unusual, exciting, and relevant. I give each painting the opportunity to develop along its own path, without placing restrictions of palette, composition, or format.”
