01
Moniker Art Fair
May 2019 · Manhattan, New York
Hill developed a solution to transition his digital works into physical form using light boxes, allowing visitors to engage with the literal and symbolic depth of each piece. The approach drew strong reviews across the course of the week.
“Siris Hill comfortably sits within the upper echelons of that talent, and possesses remarkable ability married with pioneering artistic ideas and integrity.” – Tina Zeigler, Director, Moniker Art Fair
02
The Weight of Silence
November 2019 · Fairhurst Gallery, Norwich
The Fairhurst Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition by Norwich-based artist Siris Hill whose creative practice is centred around Renaissance and Baroque inspired figurative painting. Hill is a digital fine artist, replicating the textures and movement of oil and acrylic paint with astonishing skill. His work explores the effects of mental illness, focusing on the struggle of perception, he depicts the beauty of individuality.
Hill’s emotive portraiture explores the effects that psychological conditions have on an individual, his works reflecting his own realities of living with mental illness as he investigates the social obstructions and loss of identity it creates. Unable to work around the fumes of oil paint, he has instead undertaken digital painting techniques to demonstrate a mastery of techniques of 17th-century artists.
“Siris’ work has something incredibly seductive about it. On a technical level it opens up an interesting conversation about painting as a digital medium.” – Dulcie Humphrey, Director, Fairhurst Gallery
Digital works brought into physical form using light boxes, letting visitors engage with the literal and symbolic depth of each piece.
The opening, Fairhurst Gallery, Norwich, November 2019.
