Guy is pleased to announce the second solo show of Munro Galloway. Visual
souvenirs of scenes witnessed fleetingly and quiet pictures
of friends form this exhibition of paintings and drawings by
Munro Galloway. The images offer up moments of introspection,
anticipation or exclusion - a teenager passed out blissfully
on the sidewalk, a girl on a protest march, a devotee in Central
Park waiting for the Dalai Lama. Displacing or altering the
background, Galloway transports his protagonists to a less
literal, more abstract place - the boy is washed up on a beach,
once adrift, now isolated, the girl's banner cuts sharply across
the picture plane The palette is cool, fresh and acerbic, the
poses languid but guarded, capturing not only the wistfulness
of youth but also a sense of withdrawal or ostracism. .
