Working in various methods of applying acrylic paint on canvas, Lee Albert Hill's work is in part a consideration of formalist abstract patterns. Upon closer inspection though, a sense of layered storytelling is also revealed through symbiology, musical rhythm, history, and fluid modern culture.
Each painting is also based on Hill's everyday observations in combination with personal eccentricities and intricately embedded details. His work is often a reflection of mark making across the landscape as seen high above from the air or looking out to the wonder of the cosmos.
