> In Jason Hill's Phoenix, the sun never sets. His paintings of the city – a vibrant Valley National Bank framed by a glowing sky; a dazzling Financial Center with a jet jauntily speeding past - are thousand-watt, high-color beacons that send the same, simple, not-so-subliminal message: Phoenix is cool. < Read more of Robrt Pela's article here.

Desert Living Magazine

Here's the page about me from the September/October issue >


> Exploding off the walls like Buck Rogers soaring through space, artist Jason Hill infuses his work with a feeling he calls "retro-futurism." This is the future of the past, a mid-century stargazing with held breath for all the amazements to come... the space needle, the supercar, the utopian progression imagined right-around-the-corner, the optimistic view of the future of the early 60's — when buildings were anything but cookie cutter, and folks just seemed a heck of a lot cooler. His intense technicolor is achieved with acrylics on canvas proving it's not just mastery of the paint, but mastery of the subject, that sets an artist apart. Pictured: "Double Agent," 36"x36" -ROYCE MARTIN <

Phoenix New Times

From the August 5th "Night & Day" section >


> Phoenix as an architectural archetype? Artist Jason Hill certainly believes it's possible. "Right now, I think, is an exciting time in Phoenix," says Hill, a 35-year-old illustrator and graphic designer. "Because there is a dialogue about the future, a sort of optimistic ideal. You've got light rail, you've got the revitalization of downtown. We're taking old buildings and putting them in a new context." And by "new," Hill means old, at least in the imaginative and creative sense of the 1960s, when moon suits and The Jetsons gave americans an otherworldly allusion to what the future might hold for our skylines and infrastructures. In his exhibition "Retro-Futurism: The Art and Design of Jason Hill," which opens at MonOrchid Gallery, 214 East Roosevelt, on Friday, August 6, Hill brings a "psychedelic hyper-realism" back to the future. Through paintings of Phoenix architecture and photo collages of structural designs and fashion, Hill puts his Valley vision into a "surreal utopian context." An opening reception begins at 7 p.m. –JOE WATSON <
