Alexandra Gallagher: Feminist Art Style and Practice

Alexandra Gallagher stands at the forefront of British Surrealism. Celebrating the surreal and the sublime, Gallagher’s artworks hover between the realms of memory, dreams and experience. Conjured in the digital sphere, the artist’s prints are a curious mixture of traditional nature and modern technology.

Taking inspiration from mythology and art history, Gallagher’s imaginative art splices representations of passive femininity with wild natural forms. In Change (2022), a nude woman is intertwined with vibrant florals and soaring birds. The digital edits, neon highlights and surreal collage give the familiar nude a contemporary twist.
