With Sails at Sunset, Gill Storr turns her signature eye for rhythm and texture toward the natural world, capturing the beauty and motion of boats on the water. The painting evokes the quiet drama of sails caught in evening light, blending bold colour, layered texture, and expressive brushwork to bring the scene to life.

Gill’s process begins with a deconstructed photographic image, which she reimagines through paint, mark-making, and detail. The result is a semi-abstract composition that balances realism with expression, reflecting both the physical presence of the boats and the shifting atmosphere of the setting sun.

Her fascination with water and sailing runs throughout her practice, where she explores the interplay of light, tide, and movement. In Sails at Sunset, these elements combine to create a work that feels both dynamic and serene — a reminder of nature’s rhythm and the sense of freedom found at sea.
