biography

From 1962 to 1967 Galli studied painting at the Saarland Werkkunstschule in Saarbrücken . In 1969 she took up further studies at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin , which she completed in 1976 as a master student of Martin Engelman .

Galli belongs to the generation of the “ young wild ones ” who turned away from concept art and minimal art , which dominated until the end of the seventies, and found a new expressive-figurative painting. " Instead of a predominantly rational art, there was a violent phase of painting, which gave painterly expression to a re-awakened longing for subjectivity, sensuality and emotion " (Andrea Fischer).

The artist found her own painterly style, she paints strange beings, which on the one hand have elements of the human body, but on the other hand can be interpreted as grotesque mythical creatures. She draws on semiotic formulas and likes to use characters and word structures in her work.

From 1992 to 2005 Galli taught as part of a professorship at the Münster University of Applied Sciences in the field of design. Today she lives and works in Berlin and Münster.
