In this luminous gilded panel, Jill London bridges the sacred traditions of the 18th Dynasty with the spontaneous energy of the 1980s New York avant-garde. Her practice is uniquely informed by her foundational years in the Lower East Side, where she worked in the studio of Jean-Michel Basquiat, absorbing a raw, gestural language that she translates here into a more contemplative, elemental form. Utilizing 22K gold leaf ethically sourced from Italy and hand-mixed egg tempera in deep azure and soft coral, London employs the historic sgraffito technique to carve rhythmic handwriting into the surface. These precise incisions are cut directly into the dried tempera, revealing the radiant water-gilded ground beneath and transforming the act of painting into a tactile excavation of light. The work stands as a sophisticated study in material integrity; by utilizing wood, water, clay, and rabbit-skin glue, London rejects synthetic modern alternatives in favor of a three-thousand-year-old technical lineage. The physical 3/4-inch depth of the handmade wood panel gives the work a sculptural presence, while the interplay of matte earth pigments and brilliant gold incisions reflects a career spent between the gritty pulse of downtown Manhattan and the refined apprenticeships of master gilders like Robert Kulicke. The resulting work is a dynamic field of energy that invites freedom of thought, standing as a testament to London’s ability to bring the explosive spirit of modern art history into harmony with the timeless materials of the natural world.
