Churchill No. 1 · A unique 1/1 work by GilTes

The Gathering Storm

20-second protected preview

Image, music, and historical memory

Churchill with two favored drinks—Pol Roger Champagne and Johnnie Walker whisky—set against Gil’s atmospheric treatment of the commanding opening chords from Sibelius’s Finlandia. Echoes and ominous drum rolls foreshadow the approaching horror of the Second World War.

The work brings together Cortés’s original canvas artwork, digital transformation, and composer Gil’s orchestral writing and sound design. It is one of three portraits exploring Churchill’s wartime state of mind, from gathering dread to defiance and the machinery of total war.
