In the fifties and sixties a
new school of artists emerged that added “Pop Art” to our
lexicon. Among them was James Gill. Routinely exhibited
alongside acclaimed artists such as Edward Hopper, Roy
Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, James Gill experienced a rapid
ascent in the art world; major museums such as New York’s Museum
of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum and the Smithsonian Institute
added his works to their collections. Then, at the height of his
success, he walked away – becoming a legend, an icon, in the Pop
Art world. |

"Marilyn
in Red"
Original Print on Hahnemuhle Paper
43" x 36"
|
| Not wishing to further
succumb to the “me” generation, Gill joined a small group of
artists, poets and writers to form an artist’s colony on the
California/Oregon border, far from the materialistic world.
He continued to work and expand his artistic vision, taking
the Pop Art practice of appropriating commercial
photo-derived imagery as source material and applying the
latest in technology to develop his current unique process.
By running a raw canvas through an ink-jet printer he
re-creates an image he then manipulates with a clear gel
medium, applying it as one would paint with regular pigment,
to draw the inks up into the gel, giving the same effect as
colored acrylics – only with colors dramatically more
vibrant than pre-colored medium. Gill can then paint or
glaze over this piece until it thoroughly represents his
artistic vision. |

|
With iconic Pop Art imagery as well as
bold collaged abstract imagery, James
Gill is making his mark once again on
the world of art. Major shows have been
launched in several states celebrating
the return of this legendary artist.
James Gill is truly an artist
rediscovered. |
