Madge Gill
1882-1961 (BRITAIN)
MADGE GILL WAS THE NOW-LEGENDARY BRITISH MEDIUM AND HEALER WHOSE SPIRIT GUIDE, KNOWN AS MYRINEREST, WAS CHANNELLED THROUGH THE PALE FACES, SWIRLING PATTERNS AND CRYPTIC DIALOGUE OF HER VAST AND ENIGMATIC OEUVRE. GILL’S OPUS INCLUDED POSTCARDS, LARGE FORMAT PORTRAITS AND LONG PANORAMAS OF INKED CALICO, WITH FIGURATIONS, INSCRIPTIONS AND CONTRA-SYMMETRIES. GILL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF NUMEROUS SOLO EXHIBITIONS IN THE UK AND ABROAD, AND, ALONG WITH ARTIST SCOTTIE WILSON, IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THE BRITISH SO-CALLED OUTSIDERS. HER WORK WAS MOST RECENTLY EXHIBITED IN BRUTAL BEAUTY, THE RETROSPECTIVE OF ARTIST JEAN DUBUFFET (2021).
