About the Item

UNIVERSE, LIFE UNLIMITED Archival pigment print mounted on Dibond with UV protective acrylic 40" x 80" Artist Bio: Perhaps it was because she was born on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, an important waterway for cross-cultural trade and the birth of great civilizations, that Arica Hilton brings a passion for our earth and its inhabitants to her life as an artist and global advocate. Whether hiking the Himalayas to experience the country’s culture, or cage diving with great white sharks off Guadalupe Island, or participating in scientific expeditions to document threats to the health of our oceans, Hilton is driven to pursue first-hand encounters with people and their living environments. The seeds for Hilton’s dauntless pursuits were sown early. At six-years-old she moved to the United States, not knowing a word of English. Her sense of displacement had a lasting impact, prompting a search to uncover where she belonged in the world. Hilton determined early on that her most illuminating pathway would be the road less taken – a pursuit that continues today. Near and far, Hilton seeks the unique and uncommon. Her adventures have included 22 visits to Asia. She has swum, run and biked her way through triathlons. She has participated in global initiatives for just governance and human security. And she inspires awareness and searches for solutions to improve living conditions for humanity and our earth as a whole. Hilton’s art and global advocacy are informed by the different schools of thought and cultures that she continually encounters. Hilton’s own creative pursuits began with writing poetry and expanded to painting when she began to illustrate her poems. Her artistic evolution sparked an interest in the realm of creation as she discovered mathematics, physics, quantum mechanics and string theory. Her studies solidified her passion for environmentalism when she learned that stars are nothing more than another extension of humanity – that the elements in the bloodstream are the same elements that comprise a star. The interconnection was what Hilton had been searching for her whole life. As Hilton says “We are the same as a star. How beautiful is that?” Today, Hilton is a visual artist, poet and global advocate who travels worldwide to enrich her life and the lives of others. She is based in Chicago, where she is the director and curator of Hilton Asmus Contemporary, a gallery platform that she leverages by representing artists who seek change for a better world. She is also the lead artist-in-residence for Immersive Van Gogh Chicago, 2021.

MEDITERRANEAN SONATA
By Arica Hilton
Located in Chicago, IL
MEDITERRANEAN SONATA Narrative: When it comes to inspiration, I have to say that JMW Turner’s “Burning of the Houses of Parliament” is one of my all-time favorite paintings. When I first began preparation for this exhibition not only was I having artist block, but the California wildfires were overwhelming the news. I had just started this painting and was thinking about a more contemporary way of expression. But I needed a push. I have always subscribed to a Luministic style, emphasizing tranquility, depicting calm, reflective water and hazy skies. I decided to look up my other favorite modern-day artists, Danish/Icelandic, Olafur Eliasson. He had a show at the Tate Modern and coincidentally, it was about JMW Turner’s color process. I knew I was going in the right direction. Maktub – it is written, or the other translation was, it was destiny.... Like Turner, I wanted to shape and frame the light with a sense of infinity, but on my own terms. It is wonderful to be inspired by another artist, but it is important to create your own style. Brush and palette knife, layer upon layer, And this is how Mediterranean Sonata unfolded.
