Lux Hipstamatic Show Press Release

2010-08-04T15:19:00.000-07:00

Artist Jason Hill will premiere an exhibition of more than 100 Hipstamatic iphone photos at LUX coffee bar, August 1st - 31st, 2010.

"This City is Cool" is the title of Jason Hill's all-new body of work– an ironic title considering it will be on display during the hottest month in the hottest city in America! Luckily it's at the coolest spot in town, LUX coffee bar, located at 4404 N Central Avenue in Phoenix. Known for it's design savvy interior and hip clientele as well as it's delicious coffee and pastries, LUX is a perfect locale for an exhibition of photos taken with an iphone application named "Hipstamatic".

All photos were taken in and around Phoenix from May-June 2010 and have a distinctly vintage analog feel, despite being shot entirely with an iphone.

"I love the Hipstamatic" says Jason. "You can get the varied results of a Holga film camera, the desaturated retro look of a Polaroid and the spontaneity of having a camera in your pocket!"

The results are stylish and surreal. Otherworldly landscapes shot out of the window of an airplane, abandoned domes in the desert, portraits of artistic personalities and insightful snapshots of the urban environment and Valley architecture. Some of the photos pop with over saturated color complete with analog-style light leaks, others appear in high contrast black & white with moody vignettes. With work that achieves a timeless quality using the latest in instant image capture technology, Jason's exhibition defines "cool" in the hottest city in the U.S.

Selected prints from the show will be available for purchase online at www.hipstamat.etsy.com

Desert Living Magazine

2004-09-02T17:19:00.000-07:00

> 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

2004-08-05T17:19:00.000-07:00

"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 < You can view an online gallery of the show here...

I've recently been chosen by bbh to illustrate an extensive campaign for Johnnie Walker. Around 100 illustrations for the "keep walking" campaign will appear on buildings, billboards & in print ads across the country. The campaign features Johnnie Walker's trademark walking man treading along a golden line through a multitude of various obstacles.
