Murray 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. .
