About

Justine Hill is a artist who builds custom non-rectangular substrates to create an extreme figure-ground relationship between the painting and the wall. Hill is influenced by artists such as Lee Bontecou, Mary Beth Edelson, Tischan Hsu, and Elizabeth Murray. Hill’s paintings have recently taken the form of sun-scapes, lunar-scapes, and robots, her paintings collage many disparate themes ranging from cyborgs and science fiction, to the 1970s Pattern and Decoration Art Movement.
