'Drowning In Winter' sits alongside 'Sombre Winter' in Gallagher's catalogue, a rarer companion piece: while 'Sombre Winter' runs in an edition of 25 at £300, this image runs in an edition of just 10 at £375, the scarcer of the two. The title says what the piece is about: the season that pulls you under, rendered in Gallagher's surreal, symbolic language where the natural world works around the figure to tell her story. Hand-signed and numbered from an edition of just 10, one of the scarcest print formats in her 60 × 60cm catalogue.

Alexandra Gallagher (b. 1980, Greater Manchester) is a British multidisciplinary artist whose practice navigates the boundaries between painting, collage, street art, printmaking and mixed media. Her work operates at the confluence of Surrealism and contemporary feminist discourse, interrogating visual and cultural constructions of femininity through a complex synthesis of symbolic imagery and psychological narrative. She has said: "The inspiration behind my work is our experiences as women in western society... but I didn't want to put something out there that's obvious or brutal, I wanted to create something beautiful out of something ugly, but still give a voice". Her accolades include Saatchi Showdown Surrealism Second Place Winner, Secret Art Prize Runner-Up 2016, London Contemporary Art Prize 2018 finalist, and shortlistings for the Rise Art Prize and Zealous X.
