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 9 3\/4 inches wide by 15 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 the historic sgraffito technique to carve rhythmic, calligraphic incisions through the dried pigments. These marks act as a tactile excavation, stripping away matte earth pigments to reveal the brilliant gold ground beneath and reflecting the influence of master gilders like Robert Kulicke. 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 red pigment 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 pulse of downtown Manhattan and the refined craftsmanship of antiquity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFind more information about Jill Londons’s craft at \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/gilders.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003egilders.com\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ByCloudia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48299363139801,"sku":null,"price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/6749\/6409\/files\/C0E78D5E-2D5D-46DB-BC33-AB5AAE2FB08E.jpg?v=1776457056","url":"https:\/\/bycloudia.life\/it\/products\/jill-london-fishes","provider":"ByCloudia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
