Artist Statement:
Don Hill has been creating
pieces of art since the early
1970’s. With solid colours
of acrylic and oil paints;
Don produces interesting
art… but with a twist. Each
uniquely constructed from
recycled materials ranging
from
bamboo to timber frames, these
artworks are both bold and
playful. The three-dimensional
structure allows for
the piece to be observed at
multiple angles. And his style
is noted for being like none
other.
Inspired by having worked with
notables such as Arthur Evan
Read, Mervyn Moriarty and in
particular Frank de Silva,
to name only a few, Hill was
inspired and encouraged to
further develop his artwork.
Over the years, his pieces
were
influenced by a close
relationship between the
Australian beach culture and
inland lifestyle. As put by
Hill,
“It involves us all in some
way regardless of where we
live or what we do
down-under.”
