15 Orient is happy to announce the opening of “Landscaping for Privacy”, a solo-exhibition by Hardy Hill.
Installed throughout the gallery are ten of the artist's recent photograms depicting entirely invented scenes of nude men in shadowy and ambiguous tableaux. Hill’s photograms are cameraless photographic prints created by exposing light-sensitive paper through the sieve of a hand-made negative. Drawn on acetate, variously dense networks of line filter light to yield highlights and halftones, while all unmarked space registers in the final print as a rich and uniform black ground. With this technique, keyed exclusively to the rendering of light and shadow, Hill departs from the linear style of his lithographic works to probe the deep virtual space of photographic chiaroscuro and its unique possibilities for occlusion and disfigurement.
“Landscaping for Privacy” marks the artist’s second show with 15 Orient and his first with the gallery since 2021.
Hardy Hill (b. 1993) is a printmaker living and working in New York. He is interested in how living forms are precipitated into tableaux.
