| DeLuxe, 2006, mixed media on magazine ads |

| Dirty O's, 2006, pencil, watercolor, plasticine, and cut paper |
Ellen Gallagher's identity as an African American woman is at the forefront of her artworks. Formally, she uses a variety of materials and processes. The language of magazine ads is reactivated in her work; she's especially interested in tackling physical transformation. Her works include themes of fashion, modernism, mass media, and race.
DeLuxe, seen above, was and possibly still is at the Walker Art Center.
A lot of her works are untitled which makes them hard to research.
