Larry Groff, Painting Perceptions, interviewed Gale on the phone. They talked about figuration, graduate school, her obsession with observation and her artistic influences.
Groff asked Gale about her graduate studies at Yale
We talked more about painting than figuration. It really gave me a vocabulary for that discussion in my own studio practice – considering what I valued in the painting, not just in the picture. Andrew Forge once asked us to define our assumptions in painting. This is something I continue to think about.
Here's a link to the full interview that was posted back in December.
