This painting was completed in 2015, and is featured in HEDGE Gallery’s current solo exhibition of Gallagher’s work, Research and Development. The artist has been heavily influenced by the physics of sound to create this specific work. The background of the painting is solid black, and the lines that have each been painted on the surface are various colors, with some subtle build up of texture with the acrylic paint.

This painting would bring a striking and awe inspiring sensibility to any contemporary environment.
