Art, featured by Teer & Co
Over the coming months we will feature the work of some inspired contemporary British artists.
First up, Paul Hillary is a British abstract and semi-abstract artist influenced by atmospheres in nature as well as everyday textures in urban and rural environments.
Working largely in oil and acrylic, Paul is constantly exploring with technique, colourways and texture in his art, capturing abstract images of old stressed skips, textures in nature and abstract colour combinations in what he sees. Themes from these observations are translated into his artworks in an abstract or semi-abstract manor.
Paul has built a reputation for his work in the UK, USA and Europe. He paints in his studio in Hertfordshire and exhibits widely in the home counties of the UK. Typically, his pieces are over one metre in size, but he also creates studies at a smaller size.
His home county of Cumbria and the Lake District is always a source of inspiration as are frequent trips to the Isles and coastlines around the UK, particularly the Hebrides and Cornwall, as well as stays further afield. The play of light on the ocean and land, and the atmospheres the light conjures inspire Paul. He strives to create a ‘Sense of Scape’ in his paintings rather than create representative pieces and works in mixed media including acrylic on both canvas and wood panel.
Paul is a good friend whose work I have admired for many years. I commissioned him in 2018 to create an artwork for my wife’s 50th birthday.
