Painting Beyond Painting: Ellen Gallagher | Brilliant Ideas Ep. 10
The quote “A rose is a rose is a rose” repeats and reads like a play on words. What does it mean? The sentence is a form of iteration frequently employed by Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), an innovator and pioneer in American literature. It was the writer’s literary style that influenced Ellen Gallagher to reflect the ideas of repetition and replacement in her own artistic creations. Gallagher’s works Paper Cup (1996) and Pomp-Bang (2003) feature a repetition of particular features such as loosely drawn lines and low-relief.Repetition leads to layers and accumulations, suggesting semantic diversity and open-endedness. In the 10th episode of Brilliant Ideas brought to you by Bloomberg and Hyundai, viewers are invited into the art world of Ellen Gallagher, populated by messages generated by repetition and where there are endless rows of meaning.
I'm in love and awe. I need more of her!
I love Ellen Gallagher's art. She is truly a creative genius!
This artist's work lives up to the video's title: Brilliant.

IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF SHE DIDNT GO ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT RACE...CANT THEY EVER GET SOMEHTING ELSE TO GET OBSESSED ABOUT???
Shaun Clark That’s just one small aspect of her work if you really look into it. You are obviously the race obsessed lunatic.
Brilliant in every way. She is such an inspiration.
This inspired me a whole lot
What a world she creates..I hope she has many children who continue her legacy. Thank You.
love your energy Ellen Ghalagher ;) so glad you ve got a studio to make your beauty shine across nations; ) Africa and Ireland very nice mix, my dad is north african and my mom is american irish.
This is a World class artist! Thanks for sharing! Absolutely spiritual vibes! The Red Pilgrim!
Oh my God. I knew Blossom. She was my mom's best friend!
Profound! Excellent!
Beautiful work.
fantastic
She is so cool!
Wow 🤩
❤❤❤❤
What an inspiring and beautiful woman! And what a disappointment to see racism in even this comment section smh
Its so beautifull, so inspiring and interesting work - filled with Witt and skill, quality of ideas in a playfull way - culturally very rich - and a very interesting way of opening into reflections on the creative process as a process being full of challenge and open to the felt quality of the creative process “that the work has to become a being”
"...we are together making language (for) as we speak...."
I have looked at all the comments about this artist. They all have no clues about the creative process. Neither does this artist.
Trust me...there's not "a thread literally connecting you back to the studio." 😄
She cried at Botero. And then the googly eyes
Makes my heart sing- yet sad that there’s a history that drives her work. The idea of book banning in libraries and schools will cripple generations of children from creativity.
I don’t get it!!!!😔
"her work is attractive not nearly on a visual level but because it encourages you to join her (read: for you to start painting and do it better)
Jim Overbeck No, love - to paraphrase CS Lewis we're ALL immortal & that's why not knowing this is tragic. They kill to maintain mortality & torture to sustain this living death. Everyone you've ever met & those you rub shoulders with - your own screwed-up mortal pseudo-self > the gods that fell.
I love her work and how she picks inspiration. What I don't get is that she wanders around developed countries looking for brown people and to her surprise she doesn't find much. Literally come to Latin America we are ALL brown here. Oh I get it.
Who is the other Black woman speaking in the documentary? She's smart.
Zoe Whitley, Curator of International Art, Tate Modern
I just don't find this work that interesting - rather it reflects the malaise that has afflicted art schools since the 1980s.
do you want to elaborate on what that 'malaise' is?
Thats one hip sexy soulful artistically savvy white girl. "I like a way you walk,I like the way you talk, i like the way you walk,I like a way you talk, Suzy Q" -Creedence Clearwater Revival Sincerely, Smitten Leprechaun
Yeah Why?... Do you "watch" her husband and see a black guy?? Do you "watch" the sun and see a night sky? Sincerely, Hubble
when will mainland people recognize mixed race. you guys make me laugh
MOE PATHETIC RACE OBSESSED NONSENCE... IF THEY COULD DEAL WITH THEIR OBSESSION AND IMAGINED RACEISM THEY WOULD BE A LOT HAPPIER...
WELL BEING MIXED RACE SHES ACTUALLY AS MUCH WHITE AS BLACK ... BUT WE KNOW HOW THE LIBERAL LEFT MEDIA IS OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS RACE RELATED ...LOVING THE BLACK, IMAGINING RACISM EVERYWHERE AND HATEING THE WHITE...
NO BUT WE DONT LOOK AT MIXED RACE AND JUST SEE ONE SIDE JADEN
I hate the hustle in these videos. People who have everything to gain (financially) making statements that are less than profound. Just show the artists and their work. We'll figure it out without the bullshit.
yeah, i mean, cool if the artist wants to discuss it, but what i like about art is that you can just create and not have to explain it explicitly
Just checking to see if the art elite is still getting away with it; yep.
Yeah they are still riding it with this pretentious long winded bullshit
Says so much that she could afford to go to art school while not really being sure she was going to be an artist.
Love Ellen Gallagher and her work... but seeing Anthony d'Offay in this is just..... wrong.
Whom these artworks helps? No one, Gallager is just living a dream...not even well known
Hebetude
ok
I really love abstract art but I'm not getting the reason for all the hype over this art. not getting a vibe here of anything unusual and out of the ordinary. Sorry.
When did art become so bland and boring. What happened to real talent you know the people who can paint and draw realistically.
Meh
How would a white or mixed race person seeking a whiteness of environment be regarded?
Considering that historically white people have a history of mass genocide and war WORLDWIDE that is still continuing to this day....it would be attributed completely to your character flaw of White Supremacy which you never healed, solved, or even apologized for ...and rightly so. 🤷🏾
Also....why pretend mixed race people are classified as white? Why pretend white people are campaigning to include mixed Black people in their number? Why even include mixed people like we are EVER classified by or accepted as white if we look in any way mixed???? Smdh please learn the rules of your own elitest communities that you stood here trying to defend!
white people have a lot of white space lol
Rubbish art.
I am disturbed by the bullshit that these people come out with to justify what personally I see as horrible looking art.
Very, very mediocre
