An abstract mixed-media painting on a vertical rectangular panel with a reflective, metallic gold and copper background. The composition features fluid, expressive brushstrokes in warm orange, ochre, and deep blue. The orange strokes are thick and organic, resembling swirling flames or floral petals, while the blue marks consist of thin, lyrical lines and looped scribbles that dance across the surface. The metallic substrate is visible through the translucent paint, creating a play of light and texture

In this luminous vertical panel, Jill London orchestrates a brilliant collision between the ancient permanence of 18th Dynasty technical lineage and the high-velocity mark-making of the 1980s New York avant-garde. Having honed her gestural vocabulary while working in the studio of Jean-Michel Basquiat, London here translates the raw energy of the Lower East Side into a sophisticated, material-driven meditation.

The work is grounded in a radiant 22K gold-leaf surface, ethically sourced from Italy and applied using a three-thousand-year-old water-gilding process involving clay bole and rabbit-skin glue. Over this shimmering field, London applies hand-mixed egg tempera in a vibrant palette of persimmon, burnt orange, and deep lapis blue. Utilizing the historic sgraffito technique, she carves rhythmic, calligraphic incisions through the dried pigments. These marks do not merely sit upon the surface; they act as a tactile excavation, stripping away the matte earth pigments to reveal the brilliant gold ground beneath.

The physical 3/4-inch depth of the handmade wood panel lends the piece a sculptural weight, allowing it to float off the wall and engage with the architectural space around it. By rejecting synthetic modern mediums in favor of raw minerals and organic binders, London creates a bridge between the gritty pulse of downtown Manhattan and the refined craftsmanship of master gilders like Robert Kulicke. The resulting work is a dynamic field of energy—an artifact of the future that remains deeply rooted in the materials of antiquity.
