Ann Gale - Painter



Shannon, Ann Gale, Oil/Masonite, 14x11

Ann Gale (born 1966) is an American figurative painter based in Seattle, Washington. She is known for her portrait paintings, which consist of an accumulation of small color patches expressing the changing light and the shifting position of her models over time. Some of her main influences include Lucian Freud, Alberto Giacometti, and Antonio Garcia López.[1]

Gale works from live models and her process is lengthy. Once she begins to paint, she works for three-hour sessions[2], and takes from four months to two years to complete a painting[3]. Her pieces possess a strong psychological component due to the amount of time she spends with her models... - Wikipedia
