ADAM HILL
Adam Hill employs wit and sardonic humour to make his powerful social and political statements. Often using patriotic symbols and familiar political and social figures, his work can be seen as a cultural diary that maps Australia’s race relations. The daily news is often a source for his contemporary paintings that make use of clever puns, song lyrics and deliberate misspellings of titles.
Born in Penrith, NSW and trained as a graphic artist, Adam Hill is an accomplished musician and artist. He has been exhibiting for the last ten years in group and solo exhibitions and his artworks have adorned the walls of schools, council structures, shopping malls, banners and childrens books. In 2009 Adam was Highly Commended in the Cricket Art Prize, Sydney and a finalist in the Wynne Prize AGNSW. He has been a finalist in the Parliament of New South Wales Aboriginal Art Prize since 2005 and a finalist in the Telstra Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award from 2003-08. Adam is included in the collections of ArtBank, NSW Parliament, Liverpool Council and the National Gallery of Australia.
