Steven R. Hill

American artist Steven R. Hill creates inspired images full of light, color and movement that grasp the essence of the beauty and energy that makes up these modern scenes from everyday urban and rural life. With a background as an abstract painter, Hill has immersed himself in more representational work with a plein air approach that lends a fresh, free feel to each of his paintings. But he still finds abstract possibilities within figurative subjects, allowing him to push the limits of light, color and textures to create new yet familiar vistas.

Hill’s paintings have everything to do with time and place, with moments of escape from the frenetic energy that underscores contemporary society. Although set in a modern context, his images are timeless, reminding us of the perseverance of the human spirit and the inescapable beauty just waiting to be found in ordinary contexts. In the end, Hill’s work allows the viewer to begin to transcend the trappings of society and remember the inherent riches of our world.

Steven R Hill's artwork was recently published in “Best of Worldwide Artists in Drawing, Pastel and Charcoal” by Kennedy Publications. "Harbor in Evening” painted en plein air in Lumbarda, Croatia, is one of three images of his work selected for this book.
