The Mediumistic Art of Marie-Jeanne

Marie-Jeanne Gil – clairvoyant, spirit medium, and naive artist. She believes her naive art works are executed under spirit guidance. She feels she is the instrument of a divine force from the spirit world.

It was the French painter Jean Dubuffet who first originated the concept of Art Brut in the 1940s. This art of the untrained visionary was then very much a minority interest. Since then Outsider Art has become the fastest growing area of interest in contemporary art. The year 2000 saw the opening of the huge American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, USA, and construction will start soon start on London's Outsider Art Museum.

Artists living on earth have always been fascinated by the Sky/Heaven. (the word Ciel covers both meanings for the French). People have been preoccupied with this since the dawn of art. If Leonardo da Vinci tried to reach it, it is only in the 20th century that this has become a reality. Has this influenced art? Yes it has, if all the artists of this century are to be believed, who have imagined fresh space inspired by the sky.

But what to say of all those for whom the sky is not just a physical space, but also a holy – heavenly – space where one can establish communications with the dead, with angels, with spirits?

Messages or signals from the spirit world that only a spiritualist medium can receive and decode?

I would like to introduce you to an extraordinary woman whom I met several years ago...

Her name is Marie-Jeanne Gil. She lives in Versailles, near Paris, France. She practices as a clairvoyant with a wide range of satisfied clients, using tarot cards and other techniques most impressively. Apart from being able to see into the future, Marie Jeanne Gil is now a mediumistic artist and painter, producing naive art or visionary art under spirit guidance.

As you can see, the paintings by Marie-Jeanne Gil are a fusion of brilliance and colour. They have common themes such as the Fountain of Life, the Cross, the Christ, the sky and earth joining.

They are executed with acrylic pens on art paper. Drawings have been described by art critics as:-

The discovery of an immense cosmos with a vortex of light and stars, which are of cosmic and spiritual inspiration.

On 13th November 1993 at 7pm Marie Jeanne Gil received a "call" from what can be described as another dimension, asking her to be guided to make some drawings. She was puzzled as she had, she thought, no artistic skills. But she began to execute these drawings and paintings under spirit guidance and they now number several hundred.

These mediumistic art works are always executed under spirit guidance. Marie-Jeanne cannot paint otherwise. These pictures can therefore be said to have come from another dimension, the artist becoming an instrument of a divine force. Naive art in its purest form.

They are celestial messages from the spirit world for the new millennium.

Help!

There was an exhibition of Art Singulier at Roquevert near Marseilles from 6th to 29th October 2000. 

On Monday, 2nd October, before the opening, five of Marie-Jeanne's paintings were stolen from the exhibition centre. If anyone has bought a painting or reproduction by Marie Jeanne Gil could they please contact Marie Jeanne. Also if they think they might have bought a painting that might have been produced by Marie Jeanne Gil.

Some have found that originals of these mediumistic art works are useful for meditation and are gaining a reputation for having healing properties - but the stolen works are unlikely to have this effect. 

Marie-Jeanne, now, also does to order paintings of the aura of the sitter (Dessin personalisé) :

"Le reflet de votre âme par le dessin-peinture réalisé par Marie-Jeanne Gil".

Her paintings, and paintings of like-minded artists, were shown at the exhibition of mediumistic art - paranormal art - entitled:

Du Ciel à la Terre – From the Sky to the Earth

at the Ingres Museum, Montauban, France.

It aimed to to show that, at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the Sky is an unlimited domain where science and poetry fuse and run side by side, where Holiness and Desecration face each other and cohabit.

The two parts of the exhibition were:

1 - THE CALL FROM THE SKY
2 - THE ATTRACTION FROM THE SKY

1 - THE CALL FROM THE SKY

This first part of the exhibition presented artists for whom the sky is a guide, showing the path to follow, a place of beyond which offer a few – with no previous artistic training - the possibility to create artistic pieces of works which are the transcriptions of messages from an other dimension.

These artists - mediums - come generally from a modest background where they never had the opportunity to attend art classes. Victor Hugo was the exception; he was deeply convinced that

Everything in the infinite has something to say to someone

and he was one of the first to make the spirits draw. Three of these spirits drawings produced in 1856 can be seen in the exhibition beside those of Helene Smith who painted Martian landscapes while in a trance inspired by her guardian angel, and Fernand Desmoulin, who for two years, drew unknown faces at great speed and while his eyes were closed.

In 1912, a coal-miner Augustin Lesage heard while at the bottom of the mine voices telling him that he would be an artist painter: his paintings have the style of

miniaturisme

and present shapes adopting symmetry principles. He usually gave his paintings to friends. In 1939, his disciple Joseph Crepin, a sumpman, heard voices telling him that he would have to execute 300 paintings before peace returned. He was the transcriber of his visions and he obeyed and started painting. On cue he finished his 300th work on May 7th 1945; his first his last paintings are on show at the museum alongside many more art-works created by other artists and mediums such as Madge Gill, Victorien Sardou, and Magali.

Marie-Jeanne is the only worker in the field of visionary art alive today whose paintings were shown in this first part of the exhibition.

2-THE ATTRACTION FROM THE SKY

The second part of the exhibition dealt with more recent creations of this century, which have in common a cosmic theme such as stars, planets and the like found in the works of artists like Kandinsky, Masson, Klein, Miro, Calder, Max Ernst etc…
