Derek Hill works on up to ten paintings at a time, each on canvas stretched over a wooden frame or board. He often lays the canvases flat on the floor as he works, combining industrial paints and solvents with oils.
The resulting surfaces are rich and luminous, almost three-dimensional, and transform in natural and artificial light. Hill’s practice embraces a striking paradox: he uses toxic, combustible materials and industrial processes to create work that feels alive and organic. His distinctive approach to abstraction also explores the artist’s demanding pursuit of perfection.
Hill is co-founder and lead artist of the Art Studio, Sunderland, where he has been based since 1986.
Admission is free. The opening reception is Friday, 26 November, from 6.30 to 8 pm. All are welcome.
