Teeth Tracks 1996

"Teeth Tracks" (1996) by Ellen Gallagher is a minimalist abstract work consisting of a grid of small, repetitive, hand-drawn marks on a creamy white canvas. The marks are composed of tiny, meticulously rendered blue and yellow details, creating a sense of intricate texture. Gallagher's work often explores themes of race, identity, and the representation of the female figure, and "Teeth Tracks" evokes a sense of both order and chaos. The repetitive nature of the markings creates a hypnotic and engaging visual experience.
