I tell the world my work is about mental health, then I show them people.

“I grew up with Sally, she was the first artist I ever knew. Her life was art, a chaotic masterpiece in motion.”

About

“If I’m doing it right, I disappear into it entirely. By the time I leave, I don’t know who’s being painted. Them, or me.”

A chance encounter with the work of Rembrandt van Rijn, while homeless, was the moment Hill decided he would become a painter. Drawing on his own experiences of chronic illness, trauma, and homelessness, he situates his practice at the intersection of personal history, social critique, and art-historical dialogue.

In 2026, his work was presented at the National Gallery, London. His work has also been exhibited internationally, including solo and group shows in London and New York, and a solo exhibition at Fairhurst Gallery, Norwich (2019–2020). Hill holds a BA in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts (2018).
