Stark black outlines and ink splatters create a visceral composition filled with movement and uncertainty. Alternative titles like “The Fall of Man” came to mind, as the piece evokes an allegorical descent, the unraveling of order into chaos. Yet any discernible meaning remains ambiguous. </span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I often use collage to explore existential themes abstractly, distilling ephemeral emotions into an enigmatic visual form. As an artist, I seek to tap into the unconscious realm of symbols, dreams, and memories. My goal is to create images that resonate on a deeper level, conjuring a sense of mystery that allows viewers to superimpose their own interpretations and past experiences. </span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Many of my works reference art history, combining cut-up visual fragments as a metaphor for the fluidity of meaning over time. I incorporate varied materials like colored tissue, newspaper clippings, and grocery ads as a nod to pop art's use of the everyday. But I seek to imbue these mundane elements with a haunting psychological weight. </span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">While abstraction may conceal definitive narratives, it can uncover truths through pure sensation that resonate on a deeper human level. My aim is to create work that lingers in the mind like fading memories or dreams, moving the viewer in inexplicable ways. If my art can provide glimpses into that ineffable realm beyond words, I have accomplished my goal as an artist. -- GJ GILLESPIE, artist</span></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xt0b8zv x1fey0fg" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solumpress.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1ntu9Gc2o6HK-rVhIYVdf8dMyxhd5qM-4UZJqZ5s24zqDf8Pceag18oAA&h=AT0Ha8yyNOQ5vRyOgsDCLfvrIB4GnLdb7ohuVisfDtXgYZxlMb4pbIQEihSqmfD2OdCISwyEPbIKlIHq6EQZ6obBzp-czuEAAuLaYqyTi5UtIp1rWDzyb-p_EOTd2SC9aTis7JQWQgLlMAyeu5YFHy8&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT3rXGt_xdESuGuvMhN9waN7OGY3OIDzbbxpVlFvS4IlD6rcs5G_i8OrbQXPI9gbZXZlGPW6cpMnGgwf0MZHE3ZtIZi5qJVJGDO8T6Fp3MX3b33R308DXzIXwly2bT6Jc9vX-s0N4Jcbl5dolTnYQPKrimY" rel="nofollow noreferrer" role="link" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation;" tabindex="0" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">https://www.solumpress.com/</span></a>
