James Francis Gill | Women In Cars

Gill didn’t share his art publicly for over 25 years, however he continued to develop more variations of Women in Cars . In the late 1990s and early 2000s his works showed a mix of abstraction and figuration, created using Gill’s love of media reproduction through printing, digital drawing and overlaying of paint drawing on his architectural background, creating colour variations and occasionally overlaying his own previous works. Often using new colours and shapes Gill updated the appearance of the women and treating the cars to new modern metallic paints. Throughout this process Gill transported the Women in Cars series into the modern age by depicting contemporary celebrity figures at the time of painting. His most recent works in the series, created from 2020 – 22, are acrylic paintings and studies created with wonderful colours and a youthful verve; modern and accomplished works remaining true to his Pop Art roots.
