“Corbett vs. Dempsey, the West Town enterprise that's fostered both local heroes and European artists who rarely show outside of New York and LA, had great paintings by Gabrielle Garland.”

Based in New York, Garland spent several years in Chicago, where she received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute and an MFA from the University of Chicago. Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at Corbett vs. Dempsey, Chicago; Miles McEnery Gallery, New York; the Pit, Los Angeles; Taymour Grahne Projects, London; The Brent and Jean Wadsworth Family Gallery, Lewis University, Romeoville, IL; Hap Gallery, Portland, OR; and DOVA Temporary, Chicago. She has been included in group exhibitions at Weinberg/Newton Gallery, Chicago; DeVos Art Museum, Northern Michigan University, Marquette, MI; and Campbell Project Space, Sydney, Australia; among others.

Gabrielle Garland's work centers on the idiosyncrasies of domestic architecture - portraits of houses, as it were, both exteriors and interiors, whose features are almost psychotropically amplified, with a skewed perspective that lends them a funhouse, Dr. Caligari-esque feeling. The facades of these structures, however, function as armatures for Garland's virtuosic adventures in paint and graphite. Daring color combinations and nuanced draftsmanship go hand-in-hand with representation in her depictions of suburban and city landscape, the outsized personality of which marks a place where the hyperreal and surreal meet. - Corbett vs. Dempsey
