About the Item

Sally Gil’s “Rogers Rangers” is a 15 x 22 inch abstract landscape in collage on paper with acrylic, casein and house paint. Employing a vivid palette of sky blue, bright green, accents of red and purple against inky black, many of the visual elements in this work refer to New England’s history and geography. A Morgan horse, pictured in front of the Morgan Horse Farm (Weybridge, Vermont) is at the center of the piece, and the fragment of a vintage postcard of Lake Memphremagog which spans the Vermont/Quebec border is nestled below. A brilliant starry night sky hangs over the central horizon line, and collaged flowers in the foreground anchor the composition. 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 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 is included in the US State Department’s Arts in Embassies program, in Brazzaville, Congo (2014-2016).
