10 comments This was an extremely stimulating profile of an artist of whom I had no personal knowledge at all. Mr.Gallagher’s take on the transience of art and its ephemeral nature seems to me to be a peculiarily URBAN comment, made wittily but with substance. I look forward to enjoying his art IN PERSON. Unfortunately for ME, I no longer reside in the E.Village. Kudos to both Mr.Gallagher AND to SundayArts.
