CONTEMPORARY ART STOCKROOM Bronwyn Hill

Bronwyn Hill is a Brisbane based painter whose practice predominantly focuses on portraiture and figurative representation. Recognized for her sensual photo-real oil paintings, full of poetic narratives and gentle observation, her work often exploring ideas of self-analysis and introspection within moments of personal solitude. Imbued with a sense of stillness and contemplation, Hill’s use of light and shadow and it’s emotional impact is a recurring feature of her images, as is her subtle use of colour and exquisite depiction of natural forms.

In her most recent paintings Hill collapses the traditional boundaries between portraiture and still life. Working within a rigorously minimalist aesthetic, her subjects - figures, bodies and animals alike - are presented as isolated forms within a field of pure, light filled clarity. Stripped of narrative proclivities or cluttered contexts her subjects are transported to a place of contemplative otherness.

Bronwyn Hill has been a finalist in the Clayton Utz Prize (2020, 2018, 2017, 2016), the Brisbane Portrait Prize (2020) and the Lethbridge Prize (2020) to name just a few. In 2019 she was the winner of the Sylvia Jones Award for Women Artists at the Brisbane Portrait Prize, was winner of the People’s Choice Award at the Kennedy Prize in 2018 and was winner of the Clayton Utz Launch Art Award in 2017.

Hill has been involved in many exhibition showcases throughout Australia, including portrait prizes such as the Shirley Hannan National Portrait Award and the Portia Geach Memorial Award. Hill completed a Diploma of Fine Arts in 2011.
