    "Gabrielle Garland imbues her technicolor paintings of houses with the personalities of the inhabitants she imagines sitting down to dinner, taking a nap, or reading a book inside the insulated walls and curtained windowpanes . . . The architectural facades often take on the characteristics of human faces—the windows appear as eyes, twin lanterns as nostrils, and the door as a yawning mouth—compounding their metonymical function."

  • "Garland, who was raised by two painters in New York City, grew up surrounded by art and architecture . . . Her father was an abstract expressionist, and her mother owned a decorative painting firm that specialized in the restoration of historical buildings. While it’s easy to see the enduring influence of her father’s lush, luminous color palette, it was lying on her back and painting the ceilings of landmark buildings alongside her mother that refined Garland’s eye for architectural details and her understanding of how we perceive built environments."

  • "Back in the studio, her process begins with selecting a home from her archives. Referencing a plethora of photos taken from various angles, she composes a single image shaped by both her documentation and recollection of the visit. The resulting illustrations and paintings convey the depth and dimensionality of space, rather than the single-point perspective captured by a camera."

  • "By capturing moments specific to a particular hour of the day, month, season, and atmosphere, along with its attendant physical, spiritual, and cultural implications, the artist creates a sense of sequence and continuity. The enduring past and latent future are suggested through each scene’s specificity. Here, as in life, all of time-eternal is unfolding synchronously."

    It would seem that you have no explanation for what you have done. You have shed the blood of so many Christian souls, and yet... before me now, all I see is a... young and vain and foolish man so easily riled, so easily beguiled. —Catherine, The King (2019), 2025

    GABRIELLE GARLAND
    The little bird thought she was going to die out there in the forest. All alone. She called out, in her sweet baby voice, to see if her ma would hear her. Her voice was so pure, it carried for miles through the trees. And suddenly, out of nowhere, her ma came flying down and scooped her up in her breast. And the little baby bird chirped with delight. She held on tight to the trees till they came to a beautiful place. Where she and her ma and pa could live happily together. The sun shone brightly, the air was clear, and she was home. —Clare, The Nightingale (2018), 2025

  • "'Making a home is one of the most essential parts of our lives and has been for humans for all time,' Garland says. 'It’s what most people work their whole lives for and are always aspiring toward.' Her decision to title her paintings with movie quotes is a gesture toward what, or more accurately, who is absent from the frame and an invitation for the viewer to similarly partake in her act of invention: conjuring the character that might at any moment step through the door on their way to work."
