Peter Gallo (b. 1959, Rutland VT) is a reclusive artist known for assemblages and collages created from materials as varied as traditional oil paint, dental floss, found photos, tooth picks, eggshells and string. His body of work spanning over 40 years comprises mixed-media pieces derived from an expansive range of artistic, historical, musical and literary resources. Wrote one reviewer, “[Gallo has] an apparent disdain for material, an alert scavenger’s attitude toward culture, an eye for the poignant frailties of the vernacular, and an occasionally breath-taking ability to evoke issues of great import.” (Artforum, 2005) Gallo's work has been exhibited internationally, including solo-exhibitions at White Columns (NY), Anthony Reynolds Gallery (London), Sunday (NY), James Hyde Gallery (Dublin), angelsbarcelona (Barcelona), and most recently at Sean Horton Presents (NY).
