Julian Gallo - paintings

Creatively, I always liked to explore the personal realm. As with any other artistic form, painting is yet another avenue of self-expression and self-exploration in which the end result will hopefully lead to self-liberation. I strongly believe in the maxim: "Revolution starts at home, preferably in the bathroom mirror." With my paintings I attempt to travel the labyrinth inward then try to express myself visually through the use of color and surface textures, allowing both to express what I am thinking and feeling at that given time. Many of these paintings directly relate to specific incidents in my life and I try to express this through the use of abstract expressionist and surrealist imagery. Some other paintings are abstract representations of a certain time and place which also have some personal significance and others are representations of subjects that I love such as music, literature, history, etc. It is through painting----as well as music and writing----that I embark on my own personal journey through the labyrinth of life with the hope of ultimately reaching the center.
