Cabinet paintings
Historically, since the 15th Century, Cabinet Painting is the term that has been given to small, highly finished works of art, typically no larger than about two feet in either dimension but often much smaller. Collectors would keep such paintings in a relatively small and private room, a cabinet or study, intended for individual use and contemplation, and to which only those on especially intimate terms would be admitted.
These small paintings in Gill’s latest series depict a number of winter landscapes; Gill paints parks at twilight, deserted but for the warm glow of street lamps, motionless lakes at the first light of day and uninhabited snow-bound country lanes. Not a soul in sight, timeless, as if it has been that way for eternity. Only the glowing street lights hint at human presence.
Gill Rocca exhibits widely in both solo and group shows all over Britain and the Continent. She gained a distinction in her MA in Barcelona and was tipped by the Daily Telegraph as an artist to invest in.
We are expecting a new body of work ready for our show in May 2010.
