Photogravure with laser-incised peeled paper, collage and hair pomade // Duke by Ellen Gallagher is a 2004 photogravure collage that explores themes of identity and cultural representation. This intricate work combines photogravure with laser-incised paper, collage elements, and hair pomade, creating a textured surface that is both visually engaging and conceptually rich. Arranged in a grid, a series of faces with varied hairstyles fill the composition, each modified to reflect different hair textures and styles. The use of hair pomade highlights African American cultural aesthetics and comments on societal standards of beauty and identity. Gallagher’s piece is a powerful commentary on race, individuality, and the commodification of appearance.
