With Maritime, Gill Storr captures the raw energy and exhilaration of sailing. The composition is alive with movement — sails billowing, water breaking into spray, and light shifting across the surface of the sea. Using bold brushwork, layered textures, and a dynamic palette, Gill brings both power and atmosphere to the canvas.

Her process begins with a photographic source, which she deconstructs and reimagines through paint, texture, and abstraction. The resulting work balances recognisable form with expressive freedom, conveying not only the physical presence of the boats but also the sensation of speed, wind, and salt spray.

Maritime embodies Gill’s fascination with boats and the rhythms of water, reflecting both the physical thrill of sailing and the symbolic journey it represents. It is a statement piece that speaks to adventure, freedom, and the elemental pull of the sea.
