Alexandra Nicolaides reviews Munro Galloway: Belief System at Soloway Gallery, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on view through October 19, 2014.
Nicolaides writes that the show "includes works on canvas, drawings and books, with Galloway moving fluidly between different media. The canvases are oil and acrylic, inkjet prints, or some combination of both; the drawings layer collage, ink and gouache. Galloway has built out a low shelf to display three of the canvases and another purpose-built shelf shows the drawings. Interspersed among these drawings are books he has been making for a number of years. The works function together — a system — formed out of Galloway’s actions and use of material. The result is work that tantalizingly hovers between imagination and existence."
