Title: Nobody knows What I'm Thinking circa 2018 Artist: Gale Fulton Ross Medium: Original Mixed-media liquid charcoal on paper Matted not framed- White Mat Image size: estimated 10 x 10 inches Matted size: estimated 13 x 13 inches Gale Fulton Ross is an acclaimed African-American artist living and working near Siesta Key, Florida. Her paintings are a unique blend of the black experience, ranging from high profiled commissioned work to the abstract. Her plan from age seven was to become an artist and make her father proud. When she was 31, he killed himself (he was 58). "That same year I sat on a bar stool in an after-hours jazz club called Mikells in NYC and chatted for about three hours with the famous writer James “Jimmy” Baldwin age 54. In a big brotherly fashion he changed my despair and my artistic journey although it took about forty years before I understood and realized exactly what our one time encounter would come to mean." Ross says her work is focused on emotions expressed by the face and figure and includes sculpture and portraits. This piece comes from Ross's studio and is signed by her. The piece is in excellent condition.
