| GOALIE 48" x 48" Photography by Jim Lincoln |
William Charles "Bill" Hilton stripped away the slick, white plane of melamine board with carving tools, allowing textured images of shape and line to emerge.
He then colored the rough surfaces with acrylics to craft an unusual form of intaglio painting. The result is a series of abstract, simple representational, and nonobjective pieces influenced by artistic and social themes of the twentieth century.
Bill Hilton (1921 - 2000) embraced an active and creative life as an educator and artist.
The approximately 300 paintings in Hilton's late series of work span a short period of time (1986 - 1989) and reflect his gusto for a life lived for the arts. Hilton taught English, American Studies, and Humanities at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. His work appears in private collections throughout the United States.
Absolutely amazing that he did all of those paintings in 3 years!!!! I can't even imagine! That's whatcha call passion.
