Lives and works in Berlin
Galli depicts the impressions of everyday life as well as those of mythology as twisted, magical sceneries. Her drawings and paintings tell of the struggle with the banalities of the day as well as of enigmatic-magical moments, of sexuality and longing, frustration and the will to assert oneself and the humour of getting tangled up as well as the joke of twisted word images and the pleasure of the madness of failure. Galli became known when, in the late 1970s, West Berlin's art scene caused an international sensation with a new, violent form of mostly figurative painting. But unlike the painters of the "Neue Wilde", Galli's paintings of those days were characterised above all by the stroke, the line and the draughtsmanship, which lent their paintings both lightness and intellectuality. Galli also went her very own way in the treatment of a specific physicality, which is also marked by contemporary critical allusions and feminist tendencies. To this day, it is these elements that determine her entire artistic production.
