Alexandra Gallagher's work lives between memory, dreams and experience: surreal, delicate, ethereal and refined, fusing Art Nouveau's ornamentalism with surrealism's dreamlike quality to evoke the subconscious. 'Dreaming Skyward' is botanical surrealism at its most uplifting: flowers, plants and birds, the symbols from history and nature that run through her work, turned upward toward the sky. It's a true collector's print too: the same image exists as a 100 × 100cm edition of just 5 at £950 and a 120cm aluminium edition of 10 at £1,250, so this edition of 25 is the accessible entry point into a collecting artist.

Alexandra Gallagher is a British multidisciplinary artist working across collage, street art, prints, painting and mixed media.
