Almost forgotten by history, the now legendary Madge Gill was a British medium and healer whose spirit guide - Myrninerest – authored the pale faces, swirling patterns and cryptic dialogue of a vast and enigmatic channel. Gill’s prolific mission included postcards, portraits and vast panoramic calicos of figurations, inscriptions and contra-symmetries.
Gill’s work is included in the collections of Centre Pompidou, Paris, Collection de l’Art Brut, Lausanne, and Whitworth Museum, Manchester. Exhibitions include Parallel Visions at LACMA, Los Angeles (1992), Outsiders at Hayward Gallery, London (1979), Floral Fantasies at the Wilhelm Hack Museum (2019), and Brutal Beauty at Barbican, London (2021).
Gill’s largest known work was recently on display in Foreigners Everywhere at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), curated by Adriano Pedrosa.
