About the Item

“American Icon” examines the world’s perception of America. It combines quintessential American imagery to create a depiction of this nation as seen through the eyes of the world. From the Founding Fathers to Facebook; Cowboys and the Wild West; The Wright Brothers to PanAm; Mickey Mouse to Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Elvis; Babe Ruth to Hank Aaron; Coca Cola to Pepsi; The American Dollar; Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter; Frank Lloyd Wright to Skyscrapers; the First Women’s Rights Movement and the First Man on the Moon...America is seen as the Golden Door of Opportunity. “American Icon” pays tribute to the people, innovations, and imaginations that have shaped this nation’s history. Multi-media artist, Arica Hilton was born on the Mediterranean. Much like the Luminists, the poetic art movement that captured light as it moved across the American Landscape, Hilton’s works are inspired by the European Romanticists, who depicted cool waterscapes reflecting nuanced skies. She uses that as a springboard, not necessarily concerning herself with traditional landscape. While her work continues to share a feeling of tranquility, calm, and the sense of light piercing a soft, hazy “sky,” she takes on a “Post Luminist” feeling as she refers to a more ubiquitous aspect of nature, reaching beyond the tangible earth, water, sky, to the star forming galaxies of the universe. Hilton’s paintings and installations are intricately woven with her poetry and three-dimensional materials, (such as recycled plastic from water bottles she has consumed) which transports them to the present while still capturing a timeless quality that is ever present in her works. "American Icon" uses a blend of foliage and collage adapted from her architecture background.
