“I’m trying to give these animals a sense of being revered,” Hill says. “I want the viewer to stop in their tracks and get them to engage eye-to-eye.”
Join us on Saturday, February 13th, at Courtney Collins Fine Art for an exclusive evening celebrating the extraordinary talent of George Hill.
Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: Courtney Collins Fine Art, 32 Town Center Avenue, Big Sky
Oil painter George Hill depicts animals in a way that echos traditional royal portraiture. His animals cannot simply occupy the background in a landscape - they are not merely depicted. He presents them with the gravity, dignity, and commanding presence traditionally reserved for the powerful.
Rather than resisting the romanticized mythology, Hill embraces it, using grandeur and scale to draw the viewer into an intimate encounter.
