DEREK HILL, ARTIST

*Derek John Hill is an artist based in the northeast of England. The collection of artwork showcases Hill’s exceptional and unfaltering work after graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1982. Since 1983, he has linked his art production to collaborative projects with professionals and non-professionals, including residencies and a fellowship.* The collections “Flaw” evolved at The Art Studio in 1986 and Hidden Kingdoms, Shifting Worlds at the CBCB, Newcastle University in 2015. A featured homepage presents a short slideshow of current artwork. A drop-down menu provides access to brief, detailed descriptions of Hill’s artwork,  methods and archives, including his projects at the Art Studio: ‘book, Borders, Creating a New World, Giant Fish & Jumbos. There is information on awards, collaborations, reviews, and exhibitions. There’s a page with links to films and video playlists.

The collections Flaw and Shifting Worlds each contain subcategories. For example, the “Flaw” collection has six subcategories; Shifting Worlds has two. The ink drawings and watercolours, including Machine, are in the Other Collections archives alongside Borders and Giant Fish. Feathers & Lace and Victory & Defeat are shown in the etchings categories. There are links to ‘Hidden Kingdoms Shifting Worlds’ film sketches seen on YouTube, which Hill created alongside Dr Richard Daniel at the CBCB, Newcastle University, that are set for future art installations.
