Adam Hill's Art




I love this artist Adam Hill, he's an Australian Aboriginal artist who has created some very moving pieces. He feels compelled to take a step away from traditional Aboriginal art and instead take on an art form which represents the thoughts of his people.

Adam has a family history of artisans and grew surrounded and nurtured in art practices. He draws inspiration from many contemporary Australian artists both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous. Mostly influenced by landscapes, Adam is also a keen advocate of social justice. The two are often combined in his works as you can see.

I watched an interesting documentary on him recently and am now on a mission to find some of his artwork too.
