Two Women Gesturing - Contemporary Painting Inspired by Flemish Masterworks
By Amy Hill
Located in Chicago, IL
My paintings are updates of works from earlier eras. I choose these eras because of my stylistic kinship with their artists, which allows me to carry on a kind of dialogue with them. Each era brings up a particular theme that I translate to the present day. Using portraiture I choose poses, gestures and fashion to make social, psychological and anthropological statements. Humor emerges through the juxtaposition of modern day fashion with classic poses and compositions. In addressing Renaissance works, because many of the figures from this era are depicted in poses of prayer or worship, I paint my subjects worshipping secular things such as designer labels and digital devices. - Amy Hill Amy Hill Two Women Gesturing oil on canvas 42h x 32w in 106.68h x 81.28w cm AHL001 AMY HILL Education 1977 New York University, New York, NY 1976 Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA BFA Solo Exhibitions 2018 Front Room Gallery, New York, NY “Back to Nature” 2017 Pulse Art Fair, Miami, FL with Front Room Gallery 2016 Lois Lambert Gallery, Santa Monica, CA 2016 Front Room Gallery, Brooklyn, NY "Young and Innocent” 2013 Front Room Gallery, Brooklyn, NY “The Age of Delightenment” 2010 Andre Zarre Gallery, New York, NY 2009 Andre Zarre Gallery, New York, NY 2008 McCaig Welles Gallery, Brooklyn, NY 2007 Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL 2005 Jack the Pelican Gallery, Brooklyn, NY 2004 Roq La Rue Gallery, Seattle, WA 2003 Saville Gallery, Cumberland, MD 2001 Clementine Gallery, New York, NY 1996 Curcio Spector Gallery, New York, NY 1995 University of California, Berkeley, San Francisco, CA 1994 Sunnen Gallery, New York, NY 1991 Queens Museum at the Bullova Center, Queens, NY 1991 Tegenbosch Gallery, Amsterdam, Holland Selected Group Exhibitions 2018 Elizabeth Foundation, New York, NY. “American Psyche” 2018 One Art Space, New York, NY “Untitled” 2018 Philip Slein Gallery, St. Louis “People, Places, Things” 2017 New York Art Lab 2017, Osaka, Japan 2107 490 Atlantic, Brooklyn, NY “American Pie” 2016 The Parlour Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY 2015 Booth Gallery, New York, NY 2014 Porter Contemporary, New York, NY 2014 St. Paul’s Church, New York, NY 2014 Andre Zarre Gallery, New York, NY 2014 Front Room Gallery, New York, NY 2011 Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, Ill 2011 MA Doran Gallery, Tulsa, OK 2009 Denise Bibro, New York, NY 2008 Bernarducci Meisel Gallery, New York, NY 2008 Nohra Haime Gallery, New York, NY “Peopled People” 2007 Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL 2007 Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, Woodstock, NY 2007 Like the Spice, Brooklyn, NY 2006 McCaig Welles, Brooklyn, NY 2006 Magaret Bodell Gallery, Cornwall, CN 2006 NYU Small Works Show, New York, NY 2005 Ambrosino Gallery, N Miami, FL “Gods and Monsters” 2005 Fe Gallery, Pittsburgh, Pa “Fear” 2004 B-Side Gallery, New York, NY 2004 MF Gallery NewYork, NY “Freak Show” 2004 Krasdale Foods Art Gallery, White Plains, NY 2002 NYU, New York, NY “Small Works"2001 Mark Moore Gallery, Santa Monica, Ca. 2001 Castle Gallery, New Rochelle, NY “Bogus” 2000 Upstate Art, Phoenicia, NY “Nature Made” 2000 Nexus Contemporary Center, Atlanta, Ga. “Rememberance of Things Past” 1999 DFN Gallery, New York, NY 1999 HBO Offices, New York, NY 1998 Battersea Art Center, London, UK ‘Sickly Sweet’ 1996 Barbara Moran Fine Arts, Egermont, Mass. 1994 The New Museum, New York, NY ‘Bad Girls’ 1993 Art in General, New York, NY ‘Good and Plenty...

An elegant and sophisticated decorative touch in any living space, portrait paintings have remained popular throughout the years and are widely loved pieces of art for display in many homes today.

Portrait paintings are at least as old as ancient Egypt, where realistic, lifelike depictions of the recently deceased — commonly known as “mummy portraits” — were painted on wooden panels and affixed to mummies as part of the burial tradition.

For centuries, painters have used portraiture as a means of expressing a subject’s nobility, societal status and authority. Portraits were given as gifts in Renaissance Europe, and a portrait artist might have been commissioned to help mark a significant occasion such as a wedding or a promotion to high office. Prior to the advent of photography, which eventually replaced painted portraits as a quicker and more efficient way of capturing a person’s essence, the subject of a portrait had to sit for hours until the painter had finished. And during the 18th century in particular, if an artist commissioned for a portrait struggled with how to adequately memorialize and capture a subject’s likeness, sometimes a portrait painting wasn’t completed for up to a year.

Whether it’s part of the gallery-style approach to your living-room or dining-room walls or merely inspiration as you devise an eye-grabbing color scheme in your home, a portrait painting is a timeless decorative object for any interior. A landscape painting or sculpture might give you the kind of insight into a specific region of the world or a different culture that you can ascertain only through art. Similarly, when you take the time to learn about the subject of a portrait painting that you bring into your home — the sitter’s history, the relationship between the sitter and the artist should one exist, the story of how the portrait came to be — that work can become intensely personal in addition to its place as an object for an art-hungry corner of your apartment or house.

On 1stDibs, visit a vast collection of famous portrait paintings or works by emerging artists. Search by medium to find the right portrait paintings for your home in oil paint, synthetic resin paint and more. Find portrait paintings in a variety of styles, too, including contemporary, Impressionist and Pop art, or search by artist to find unique works created by painters such as Mark Beard, Steve Kaufman and Montse Valdés.
