About the Item

Sally Gil’s “J. Peterborough Snow” is a 22 x 30 inch abstract landscape in collage on paper with acrylic, casein and house paint, using a palette of brilliant sky blue, inky blacks and accents of reds, oranges and greens. In this complex work a horizon line is created by juxtaposed fragments of post cards and other found images of wooded mountains under idyllic blue skies dotted with puffy white clouds. At the center of the piece two found images stir memories of New England’s iconic seasons: winter skiers on a snowy mountain follow brilliant orange fall foliage. Sally Gil’s technicolor utopias draw the viewer into complex worlds where iconic fragments taken from a variety of found print materials (discarded encyclopedias, seed catalogues, post cards) form new narratives with ephemera from daily life (tea wrappers, paper from florists, doilies). Her stream of consciousness sweeps us up with effervescent energy. Seen from afar, there is a sense of the cosmos, the Big Bang, star dust. Close up, thoughtfully juxtaposed elements create alternate stories. Choosing to paint over, embellish, or riff off these elements, she fully appropriates and transforms the found imagery. Gil’s process is meticulous, using visual and word association to construct possible alternate worlds. At times a kind of nostalgia bubbles to the surface, and while the works are not intended as autobiographical documents, each holds the indelible marks of the maker and the those things that hold meaning for her. Gil states, “Sequences and layers imply time passing and real events (the making of the artwork itself) and are thus a kind of truth.” 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.
