brushwork. Known for her bold, modernist approach to the figure, Gillespie distils posture and mood into a series of deliberate, geometric shapes and richly textured surfaces.
The reclining figure—outlined with clarity and set against blocks of vivid colour—embodies Gillespie’s interest in the emotional resonance of stillness. The interplay of warm reds, greens, and yellows creates a dynamic yet intimate setting, while the patterned lower section introduces rhythm and visual tension. Her confident impasto technique aligns her with the expressive traditions of Scottish art, where material presence and individuality have long been central to figurative practice.
Within the broader landscape of Scottish art, Woman Seated by the Window stands out for its ability to merge introspection with bold painterly abstraction. The result is a work that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in Scotland’s modern figurative lineage.
