Artful Ways

Last time we saw Aron
Hills work it was a birds-eye view of sorts with his intricate
pencil drawings of the winged creatures.

But the multi-dimensional artist is taking a different approach to
nature in his new show, Taste
the World and Digest It.

Inspired by personal travel photographs, Hill returns to a more
traditional mode of painting with playful oil canvases of romantic
scenes abroad in countries such as Nicaragua. Family members including
his mother (pictured in Liz), his father and wife make appearances,
casually lounging or walking along in the scenes.
