GRAHAM GILLMORE (1963-)THE HUMAN MINDcollagesigned and dated /96 13.5 ins x 10.5 ins; 34.5 cms x 27 cms Provenance:Private Collection, OntarioCollecting phrases and texts from literature, music, greeting cards, and overheard conversations, Graham Gillmore reimagines linguistics into an artistic medium. “I play the role of scavenger when it comes to the texts I use. I think of these selected fragments as a kind of linguistic ‘road kill’ - skeletons on which to hang the material of painting,” he explains. Regardless of the origin of his sources, Gillmore’s mixed media paintings construct a personal and cultural commentary on our shared experiences. His work is visually engaging in that it allows for a multitude of interpretations, and is often critical and controversial.Estimate: $1,000–1,200
