Madeline Gallucci’s paintings inhabit a liminal space between realism and abstraction, drawing attention to the overlooked marks of urban life. Her works feature mismatched paint covering vandalism, scratches on windows, and repeated graffiti tags, transforming momentary blemishes into enduring visual fields.

Influenced by trompe-l’œil and colour field painting, Gallucci constructs compositions that hold traces of dust, weather, and fragmented language. Her practice questions how meaning emerges from the provisional, inviting viewers to contemplate the transient beauty found in everyday urban decay.
