About the Item
Gregory Gillespie (1936–2000)
Split Image Swamp, c. late 20th century
Oil on panel 21.5 x 19.5 inches
Signed and inscribed verso
Provenance: Salander-O’Reilly Galleries, New York, NY; Skinner Auctions, MA
A haunting and symbol-laden composition, Split Image Swamp exemplifies Gregory Gillespie’s fascination with duality, transformation, and psychological depth. Rendered in rich, dark impasto, the central form evokes both a natural and mythological presence—part vegetal, part humanoid—emerging from a densely layered, primeval ground. The figure’s symmetrical construction suggests a mirror of consciousness, a frequent motif in Gillespie’s work, drawing viewers into a confrontation with the unconscious.
Executed in oil on panel, this piece reflects Gillespie’s meticulous surface technique, where thick brushwork and textural contrasts imbue even small compositions with dramatic impact. On the verso, a raw underpainting and bold pigment gestures—possibly preparatory or symbolic in their own right—offer a glimpse into the artist’s creative process.
Gregory Gillespie’s works are held in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Hirshhorn, among others. Split Image Swamp, with its intimate scale and psychological tension, is a compelling example of the artist’s mature period and a powerful addition to any collection of American visionary or surrealist art. 21.5h x 19.5w x 3d
