Ellis Gallagher's shadow chalk drawings,
executed in both urban and interior settings, seek to enhance the beauty of everyday objects and mundane situations that are routinely overlooked.
Chalk drawings of bicycles, signage, fire hydrants, milk crates, shopping carts, fences, plants, and trees inspire curiosity and encourage the viewer to pause, observe, initiate conversation and experience their surroundings with a renewed sense of optimism.

"Persistence Overcomes Resistance." I miss and will miss the old Tungsten orange/yellow streetlights that are all currently being replaced and will be replaced with all new white l.e.d. lights all across NYC.
"Across From Paul's Boutique." Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York City
"East Village Barricade." From A Series. Manhattan, New York City, 2009.
Throwback to "Bowery Milkcrate With Pole And Signage." Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York City. 2009. It's something else that NYC will eventually change ALL the streetlights to L.E.D. white light in lieu of the yellow-orange we are all accustomed to. Energy saving, yes. But the entire look and feel of NYC streets at night will be changed forever. Photos, videos and movies will never feel the same. Supposedly by next year all 250,000 streetlights in NYC will be replaced with L.E.D. lights. Each streetlight will have 2 bulbs. Everything will have a double shadow at night!
