Gallo’s use of enamel-like surfaces to depict women creates a contrast to the realistic portrayal of volume and detail. “I'm obsessed with the female figure,” he has explained. “What I express in these pieces is worship, not exploitation. I'm interested in the beauty of the female figure, and I'm trying to express it, the way I feel it.” Born on January 13, 1933 in Toledo, OH, he attended the University of Toledo and later the Cranbrook Academy of Art. In 1959, he received his MFA from the University of Iowa, where he worked with the printmaker Mauricio Lasansky. During this time, Gallo began creating works such as Quiet Nude (1966), using polyester resin with fiberglass. By 1977, the artist had switched mediums due to health concerns, employing cast-paper instead. He currently lives and works in Urbana, IL. Today, Gallo’s works are held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others
