A vertical abstract painting on a shimmering gold-leaf background. The piece is filled with energetic, calligraphic scribbles and fluid shapes in vibrant orange, deep teal, and touches of red. The brushwork varies from thick, opaque strokes to thin, wiry lines that dance across the reflective surface. The composition feels organic and chaotic, like a dense thicket or a fire.

In this luminous horizontal panel, Jill London orchestrates a brilliant collision between the ancient technical lineage of the 18th Dynasty 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 translates the raw energy of the Lower East Side into a sophisticated, material-driven meditation. The work is grounded in a radiant 22-carat gold leaf surface, applied using a three-thousand-year-old water-gilding process involving clay bole and rabbit-skin glue on a traditional wood panel measuring 15 3/4 inches wide by 9 3/4 inches high. Over this shimmering field, London applies hand-mixed egg tempera in a vibrant palette of persimmon, burnt orange, and deep lapis blue, utilizing a complex series of calligraphic sweeps and rhythmic sgraffito incisions. These marks act as a tactile excavation, stripping away matte earth pigments to reveal the brilliant gold ground beneath, a technique that reflects the influence of master gilders like Robert Kulicke while maintaining a frenetic, contemporary pulse. The physical 3/4-inch depth of the handmade panel lends the piece a sculptural weight that allows it to float off the wall, while the artist’s signature in graphite on the reverse confirms its authenticity as a circa 2000 artifact. By rejecting synthetic mediums in favor of raw minerals and organic binders, London creates a dynamic field of energy that functions as a bridge between the gritty downtown Manhattan art scene and the refined craftsmanship of antiquity.
