Amy Hill is a New York-based artist whose work reveals a great sense of humor and create dialogues with the earlier eras. Through borrowing styles and postures from the past, Hill’s creations sheds lights on the connections between past and present. “Each era brings up a particular theme that I translate to the present day. Using portraiture, I choose poses, gestures and fashion to make social, psychological and anthropological statements. Humor emerges through the juxtaposition of modern day fashion with classic poses and compositions,” says Hill.
Past exhibitions of Amy Hill’s include “Back to Nature” at Front Room Gallery (New York), “American Psyche” at the Elizabeth Foundation (New York), and “People, Places, Things” at Philip Slein Gallery (Missouri). Her work has also been extensively reviewed in publications such as Harper’s Magazine, Artnet Magazine and New York Times.
