Studio Tour circa 2010
A view into the studio practice of artist Derek Hill, circa 2010. The paintings are from the series Flaw. They were later exhibited at the Myles Meehan Gallery, Darlington, and the South Hill Park Arts Centre (SHP), Bracknell. Outi Remes, former director of SHP, shares some thoughts.

“I had the pleasure of working with Derek Hill on the “Flaw” exhibition at South Hill Park in 2011. Derek’s approach to his art is truly alchemical, transforming his cavernous studio into a magical space filled with intricate wooden beams, paintings, and tools. His ability to blend a vast array of materials and techniques results in works that range from microscopic biological processes to grand geographical phenomena, all contained within a few square feet. His work is both lucid and mysterious, generous and intense, and his creative vision made the exhibition a resounding success. Derek’s dedication and innovative spirit are truly inspiring, and I highly recommend him for any artistic endeavour.”.
