About the Item

Sally Gil’s “Venezia ” is a 12 x 18 inch collage, acrylic and casein work on paper. Employing a restrained palette of blacks and whites accented with green, brown, red and purple, Gil explores subtle variations in surface textures with her characteristic visual riffing on elements to build complex overall pattern. The right half of the work is populated with dots of white paint against the black background, creating floral and starburst motifs that wrap the collaged paper fragments. Along the left side of the work a repeating pattern of brick-like rectangles alludes to architecture. Sourced from a variety of print media including foreign language comic books, encyclopedias, Gil explores visual and word associations, puns, reversed images, changes in scale and in perspective. Seen from afar, there is a sense of the cosmos, the Big Bang, star dust. Up close, thoughtfully juxtaposed elements engage us with detail and intimacy. Choosing to paint over, embellish, or riff off of these elements, she fully appropriates and transforms the found imagery. Gil’s process is both intuitive and meticulous. She employs happenstance and fortuitous combinations as a means to reveal truths; at the heart of her art making lies trust in the process and the materials at hand. Brooklyn-based visual artist Sally Gil was born and raised in Bennington, VT. She received her Bachelor of Arts at UC San Diego and her Masters of Fine Arts at Hunter College, CUNY. She has had solo exhibitions at Helen Day Art Center, Stowe, VT; The Bennington Museum, Bennington, VT; Geary Contemporary, NYC; 571 Projects, NYC; University of North Carolina, Charlotte; and Dean Bergen Gallery, Brooklyn. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions at The Fleming Museum, Burlington, VT; The Brooklyn Museum; The Rotunda Gallery, Brooklyn; and White Columns, NYC, among other venues. The artist was a Fellow at Apexart (2013) to São Paolo, Brazil and a Visiting Artist at The University of North Carolina, Charlotte (2010) and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (2001). Her work was included in the US State Department’s Arts in Embassies program, in Brazzaville, Congo (2014-2016). She is a 2018 recipient of a New York City MTA public art commission for the Avenue U station on the N line, Brooklyn.
