About the Item

Gigi Mills utilizes oil paint to create works that prompt the viewer to contemplate the beauty in everyday things. By reducing each moment to its essential components, Mills subtracts all the extra noise that increasingly fills our lives, and allows us to see what is being truly experienced or felt. Color and surface reinforce this notion, as streaks of oil paint seep into linen, birch panels, and wooden boards, creating their own textures, layers, and material memories. Whether of the clear night sky, a set table, acrobats at the circus, or a task as mundane as laundry, Mills' paintings all pulse with energy and hold deep meaning and memory. Born in Ohio into the famous Mills Brothers circus family, Mills has been surrounded by creative energy since childhood. She went on to earn a BFA in Theater from the College of Santa Fe and an MA in Choreography from the University of New Mexico, training that grounded her in movement, formal composition, and the discipline of staging a scene–instincts she carries directly onto the canvas. As a self-taught painter, this choreographic sensibility merges with the creative energy she absorbed from her family, surfacing in paintings that hold the memory of the circus, dancers, musicians, and animals. She has since been exhibited at the Albuquerque Museum and Museum 21C. Mills lives and works in Santa Fe, NM, with her partner and their dog, Monty.
