Newest Painting “Absolute: Insulation”

By Daric Gill

Introducing my latest painting, Absolute: Insulation, an oil painting on reclaimed cherry wood.

A leafless branch is vignetted in the center of the undulating patterns of the wood below. The top half of the branch, sheathed in a coating of white, reaches outward and upward. The base of the branch fades into the background wood. Look close enough and you can see dried remnants of moss on the twig. A deep red-brown color envelopes around the center; its rich color coursing through the wavy cherry wood grain.  Read more below…

Absolute: Position, my newest oil painting, is currently on its way to The George Billis Gallery in Los Angeles. I’ve been loosely connected with the gallery for a couple years now, showing a few pieces in their Culver City, LA gallery as well as the home gallery located in Chelsea, NYC.

It’s a real pleasure to announce that they will be receiving another piece on the west coast and I urge anyone in the area to check out the gallery. Read more below…

I’d like to introduce my latest painting, Absolute: Position, an oil painting on a reclaimed mahogany pie crust table top.

Four green leaves mirror each other, weighting the piece at the bottom. Hanging down the center of the piece is a moss-encrusted branch, showing off its thorny side.  A sprig of chamomile flowers grows up from the bottom edge. The flowers also reflect in opposition to the dead branch. The branch and the chamomile are almost touching tips, but not quite. Behind the natural objects are two translucent stripes. Depending on the viewer, one may view them as either dark stripes on a lighter background or lighter stripes on a darker background. Read more below…

“Absolute: Journey”, A Connection To Memories

The Absolute series of paintings has a tradition of exploring connections we have to each other through personal, yet universal narratives. We fall in love, have intimate struggles, find solace in nature, and navigate personal directions. In Absolute: Journey, I explore what it feels like when we long to capture sensory and emotional experiences in more tangible ways. This painting uses mood and symbolism to narrate the timeless tradition of placing these experiences into our memory. It is a visual description of the sensitive and very personal ways we reflect back on past moments; and how the past is held up to the torch of the future’s light.
