Sheila Gallagher, Deute

Deute, by Sheila Gallagher is a collection of found melting plastics such as old prescription bottles, bottle caps, and other found objects, arranged to create a beautiful picture of a path down an autumnal forest. From a distance, the piece looks like a painting of a forest, but close up, it is a textured filled with melted plastics which creates really interesting detail close up.

Charlene by Robert Rauschenberg is one of his “Combine Paintings” made up of oil paint, charcoal, paper, fabric, newspaper, wood, plastic, mirror and metal on four Homasote panels mounted on wood. The colours are very similar to the colours in Deute by Sheila Gallagher as they are warm, autumnal colours. However, in Charlene, the colours have a slightly more darker tone. Unlike Deute, Charlene doesn’t make up an interesting overall image, but is more abstract and focuses on the textures and colours. The textures are what makes this piece interesting, as opposed to the detail and composition that make Deute interesting.
