A Hand-signed original artwork by James Francis Gill.
After stepping away from the limelight in the early 1970s, Gill re-emerged triumphantly in the 1990s. Described as a pioneer in the pop art movement, Gill’s works are visionary, timeless and universal. His iconic vibrant separations of light and shadow – typic of news photographs - are inspired by magazines like Time, Life and National Geographic and have been featured in numerous galleries.
Gill was one of the first artists to paint Marilyn Monroe, depicting the story of her life in his iconic ‘Marilyn Triptych’ shortly after her death. Following the success of his triptych, which remains part of the Museum of Modern Art’s (New York) permanent collection, Gill became drawn to Marilyn Monroe as a prevalent theme in his work.
The original artworks are modern embodiments of an idea that was ahead of its time, anticipating the omnipresence of social media and the struggle to protect a personal and private space of existing. These modern pieces are steeped in the history of the pop art movement and bring a fresh and exciting insight into the workings of one of the last living pioneers of the subject.
Described by the late scholar William Seitz as an ‘incisive and startling commentator’ who art is ‘timeless and universal’, he merges iconography with startling colour.

Is my art insured?

Is the artwork framed and ready to hang?
All our framed artworks arrive ready to hang, ensuring a hassle-free setup. Simply unbox, choose your perfect spot and enjoy its beauty instantly.
Is the artwork hand-signed?
The majority of our originals and limited editions are hand signed by the artist themselves. On some occasions where we have limited edition sculptures, this is hand written into the mould before production. If you're unsure, please contact us.
What happens after I order?
Once you've completed your purchase, a confirmation receipt will be sent via email. You will also receive a follow-up phone call from one of our art consultants to provide confirmation, finalise the details of your preferred delivery method and answer any further questions you may have.
What is the difference between a limited edition and an original?
An original work of art is a one-off piece - painting, sculpture, mixed media - which is made by the artist themselves. When you buy an original piece of work, it comes with the knowledge that you own something incredibly special; almost a piece of the creator themselves. A limited edition is a translation of an original piece and there is a fixed number of these made. The piece will be signed by the artist, and the edition number will show you which number in the series you have purchased. Read more about the different types of art we sell here.
Will you install my art?
We do offer an installation service should you need assistance. You can contact our art consultants for further information here. Please note that this is currently only available in mainland UK.

James Francis Gill
When Pop Art exploded in the USA in the 1960s, the art world changed forever. At the forefront of the movement was James Francis Gill, a Texas-born architectural designer who would go on to count Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana, and Andy Warhol amongst his peers. Famously, he stepped away from his celebrity in the early 1970s (although continued painting), but the Pop Art pioneer was rediscovered in the 1990s, and was warmly received by both galleries and private collectors.
