2003 to 2005
Gary Paller’s work is “music” for the eyes. The eye roams across the work from right to left, from top to bottom in a kind of oscillation that evokes the movement of the cradle—before a work by Paller, our imagination is cradled more than in a dream. As the artist puts it, his forms have their origin in a biomorphic base, but they are then detached from it, and may in actual fact be forms of bodies, forms to search for in the meanders of Nature, in the amplest sense of the word.
