Subtly bold, these canvas’ display strong blocks of colour against highly worked areas, building up texture and tone. The landscape that these paintings derive from show their history in the tracks, walls and other intersections that are still evident in the land, much like McGill’s canvases and the marks that make up the work.

Studying at the Royal College of Fashion, Sally McGill has also exhibited in London and the rest of the UK at the Curwen Gallery, 54 The Gallery, and London art fairs including Art on Paper, Royal College of Art, and London Art Fair, Islington.
