Boxed canvas original
This striking black-and-white portrait of Marilyn Monroe captures the enduring allure and beauty of one of Hollywood’s most iconic figures. Gail employs an unconventional method of dropping the paint onto the canvas to create texture and a sense of ripples, reminiscent of modern pop art and photography. The monochrome palette allows for this to be a stylish and neutral addition to any room to create an eye catching focal point.

Gail Troth was born in Birmingham UK in 1954. She has traveled widely in Europe, the Far East, Africa and America even as far as Australia where she lived for several years. However having gone full circle her studio is now based in Birmingham UK. Having worked as a jewellery designer and commercial artist she is now a self employed fine artist. Gail’s goal is to produce paintings that paint themselves, that generate outcomes that intrigue her. To achieve this she has developed a method that entails dropping the paint onto the canvas. This is a non-interventionist approach which uses gravity to produce delicate structure and pattern. The results that arise often resemble structures that occur within natural self-organising systems, for example animal and plant cells or mineral and crystal formations.
Gail says “The structure and pattern produced surprise me as they arise from an area not open to manual manipulation, this prompts me to explore further”
