Summer 2016 – Works by Richard Hill
June 12, 2016 @ 6:00 am - August 31, 2016 @ 12:00 pm
During the summer months, works by Richard Hill will be featured in the Belmont Gallery of Art. It’s always fun to discover the personalities portrayed in his “Collective Iconographies.”

Hill describes his “Collective Iconographies” as assembling and juxtaposing multiple iconic portraits and grouping them together thematically. Images are drawn from a wide array of familiar media – magazine covers, coins, sculpture, photographs, comic books and the like. Each painting seeks to faithfully imitate the style, medium and vocabulary of the original images to ensure that they are readily recognizable.
Visit our Belmont Gallery of Art and enjoy the humorous, thoughtful, and sometimes quirky juxtapositions in each piece.
