Gangloff is somebody whose artwork I've only just recently discovered, after a fair few of her paintings appeared on my Tumblr dashboard. I reblog her work every time it comes up, and I just can't get my head around her knack for articulating patterns and the attention to detail she demonstrates.
Her art contains a cast of characters, most of whom I believe are her friends, set in front of comfortable, cozy backdrops, and she seems to love experimenting with different textures and styles, and there's a sense of naturalness to what she does that I just adore. I particularly love the nudes that she paints, because there's no sense of provocativeness to them; the lack of interest the figures display for those viewing the artwork makes it seem like they are only physically present in the painting, yet mentally somewhere distant.
What's even better is that these paintings seem to have been cut out of a much larger scene, as if something a lot more interesting is happening elsewhere, but we're unable to know what.
