Gillian Carnegie's exhibition at Gladstone Gallery marks a significant return of her work to the U.S., featuring seven pieces that re-examine familiar motifs, such as a distinctive tree and various portraits. Though each painting is exquisitely crafted, Carnegie's predominantly grisaille palette creates a ghostly distance from reality, inviting contemplation of representation and identity. She paints familiar subjects in fresh ways, hinting at connections between them while avoiding straightforward interpretations that would anchor them in individuality, thus complicating the viewer's understanding of figurative painting.
Gillian Carnegie's current show at Gladstone Gallery showcases her unique vision of figurative painting, offering a series of works that reframe familiar subjects in ghostly tones.
In her depiction of a tree, portraits, and a white cat, Carnegie reflects an exploration of resemblance, challenging viewers to reconsider the connection between subject and identity.
