Model by the Window is a striking example of Joan Gillespie’s bold, modern approach to figurative painting. The seated figure, rendered with strong outlines and sculptural simplicity, is positioned Read more
against a vivid, abstracted landscape that appears to open out beyond the interior space. Gillespie’s confident brushwork and expressive colour choices create a dynamic tension between the calm, contemplative pose of the model and the energetic world outside.
The composition demonstrates Gillespie’s ability to merge figure and environment through rhythm, geometry, and colour harmony. Her work is widely recognised within contemporary Scottish art for its clarity of form, emotional restraint, and painterly immediacy. This piece exemplifies her ongoing exploration of how human presence interacts with architectural and natural surroundings.
