Scott
Hill is known for his quietly beautiful atmospheric landscape paintings
in oil. Hill’s paintings evoke a sense of history. He has
been influenced most in his work by nineteenth-century landscape
paintings and by his memories of the mountain landscapes of north
Georgia, where he grew up and where he still resides. The sense
of the past in Hill’s work is enhanced by his use of the centuries-old
technique of glazing. Hill also uses a limited color palette, creating
a serene yet visually interesting effect. Although Hill’s
work hearkens back to an earlier age, it is nevertheless unmistakably
modern. Many of Hill’s paintings include a solitary figure
isolated within a beautiful yet overwhelming setting. The anonymity
of these figures and the composition of the paintings convey a modern
sensibility. |
