Created from slabs of clay that are glazed in riots of color and bold patterns, John Gill’s works have a sculptural quality even though he does not identify as such. Describing his process, Gill says, “In my work I try to utilize simple techniques. This allows for freedom of ideas and process. Shape, form, use and color inform and question other possibilities…Working within the realm of function expands the potential.”
With reference points ranging from ancient Persian ewers to the abstract art of Arthur Dove and stack mills in Ohio, Gill’s penchant for playfully reinterpreting historical references lends a Postmodern sensibility to his work, as seen in the present ewer. Similar works are held in the permanent collections of museums including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California; and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, among others.
