Women in Water | Mini Framed Set of Four

Hand-signed serigraph on handmade paper limited edition set by James Francis Gill. 

Pop Art pioneer James Francis Gill explores femininity through the shifting, fluid lens of water in this markedly intimate and expressive series. Transcending mere representation, this artwork set is a personal and poetic exploration of emotion, identity and the universal human connection with nature.

Light refracts across the waves and colours merge and flow, as Gill creates distortions that are both photorealistic and atmospheric. The water becomes a veil, enhancing the female form’s radiance.

Framed as through seen from above, the women are shown through a lens of vulnerability, liberation and quiet intensity. Gill paints his muses gently gliding through serene blue waters, luxuriating in tranquillity.

One of James Francis Gill’s most intimate and expressive series and part of a body of work dating back to the 1960s, Women in Water sees Gill present a series of female figures in a suspended, almost timeless state. Poised at the edge of movement, immersed in water, Gill captures the women between air and depth, hesitation and courage – each composition an encounter. These moments are charged with both physical vitality and emotional resonance. The leap into the water symbolizes transformation, rebirth, and the intensity of fleeting experiences. Gill distils this ephemeral feeling into a visual language that is at once personal, poetic, and universal.

“We humans love the sight of water. The glitter, the soft waves and the deep blue all trigger a feeling of peace and space within us.” – James Francis Gill
