Employing the language of abstract sculpture, Patrick Hill creates highly referential, narrative constructions contrasting hard, architectural elements with soft, supple materials. This deliberate juxtaposition of materials serves to suggest distasteful aspects of the physicality of the human body and invites the viewer into difficult dialogues with the work.
Patrick Hill was born in Royal Oak, Michigan in 1972 and now lives and works in Los Angeles. His work has recently been exhibited at The Approach, London and Bortolami Gallery, New York. he was included in the 2008 Biennial Exhibition at Whitney Museum of American Art.
