Gail Singer (1924-1985) was an American painter and printmaker.
She moved to France in 1955, where she attended Atelier 17, founded by Stanley William Hayter, until the late 1970s. There she rubbed shoulders with Max Ernst, Joan Miro, Dadi Wirz and Pierre Alechinsky, among others. Her work is represented by Augustinci’s Le Soleil and Rive Gauche galleries.
As Hayter says, “Her work is far from reassuring: her violent, shocked structures reflect our world… Her work, both violent and moving, is a direct emanation of intuition and instinct. Her sense of colour is unique: it is part of the work, not a means of enhancing or decorating the image. Her strange, bewitching, obsessive constructions are linked to an element, unknown perhaps, but absolutely authentic to our psyche”.
