An enthusiastic group of collectors have discovered the artistic vision of artist
Skip Hill and his colorful, ironic, funky, mixed-media paintings of crying prophets, haiku divas, ghetto geishas and ornately adorned bulls.
Skip Hill employs a Neo-Primitive idiom that weaves a collage of aesthetics, languages and graphics rooted in cultures around the world.
Embracing an African influenced modernist style, Skip Hill uses patterns and images gathered from sources as diverse as outsider Folk art, graffiti, Mexican retablos, Japanese Ukiyo woodcuts, Russian Orthodox ikons, Ife-benin bronzes and Jazz.
His time living in Asia is reflected in his weaving of Vietnamese poems, Korean food packaging and Thai headlines into these textured works.

Skip Hill melds the myriad images of his media collection and performs a jazz solo of artistic improvisations using paper, paint, found objects and his innate gifts, creating a sophisticated, contemporary Pop folk art in the process.

Skip Hill’s body of work is in private collections and public spaces on both sides of the Atlantic. He has traveled, lived and exhibited throughout the U.S., Europe. Southeast Asia and North Africa.
