Skip Hill: “Skip Hill creates lyrical collage paintings, prints and drawings that weave a rich tapestry of aesthetic styles, languages and philosophies rooted in cultures around the world. Embracing the African-influenced modernist idiom, Hill explores patterns, images and forms drawn from cultural sources as diverse as comic books, outsider folk art,, graffiti, and Art History to produce an art that engages the viewer in a visually meditative experience. His iconic collage paintings of crying prophets, haiku divas, ghetto geishas, dancing bulls and the ornately adorned elephants of the Tembo Series are directly influenced by his years spent living in Thailand and the Netherlands and traveling to exotic places around the world, as well of his deep studies of Religion, Art History and the African-American experience.
