Jackson Hill creates paintings and imagery that convey an unsettling power, murky gothic psychoscapes full of menace and suggestive of multiple hidden meanings. The expressionist facture and brilliant handling of light and darkness lend Hill’s compositions a mesmerizing, oneiric force all their own.
Jackson Hill (b. 1994, Newton, Massachusetts) is a figurative painter known for creating psychologically charged scenes that explore the tenuous interface between the material world and the ever-changing abstraction of internal life. His work is grounded in memory, often blending elements from his rural and suburban childhood in Indiana with his later urban life. Although Hill primarily works in oils, he has recently begun exploring the interplay between site-specific found materials such as litter or animal bones, and more traditional media such as oils.
