| "Into the Mystic" by GJ Gillespie SOLD |
"Into the Mystic" by GJ Gillespie. Mixed media collage on canvas. 30 x 40 x .15. 2024. Found papers, tissue, cloth, pencil, ink, watercolor, oil and acrylic paint. Title after 1969 rock song by Northern Irish singer and songwriter Van Morrison.
STATEMENT
Into the Mystic' is a contemporary reinterpretation of one of William Turner's naval battle scenes, created using my distinctive collage approach. Turner, a renowned 19th-century British painter, was celebrated for his atmospheric depictions of light and color in landscapes and seascapes.
In this piece, I aimed to capture Turner's essence while infusing it with my own artistic vision. Using a mix of found papers, tissue, cloth, and various paints, I built layers that echo Turner's color palette and values. However, my approach diverges by introducing abstract expressionist elements, adding lines, sails, and masts in a way that creates ambiguity and depth.
The process involved carefully selecting and manipulating materials to achieve a balance between recognizable forms and abstract elements. By incorporating unexpected materials like grocery ads and crossword puzzles, I inject a contemporary commentary on consumerism and information overload into the historical context.
This work is not just a representation of a naval scene, but a meditation on art history itself. It invites the viewer to explore the tension between classical maritime painting and modern abstraction, challenging perceptions and evoking a sense of the mystic – much like the Van Morrison song that inspired its title.
