Introducing Lily Morris and Billy Hoff.
Lily Morris's paintings ..."... depict foggy but seemingly familiar scenes that require squinting eyes and conjure a feeling akin to driving somewhere remote in the pouring rain. Her style fluctuates between washy layers of oil and solid photographic realism. Subjects and objects are caught exploding, describing the very instant an action occurs- the horrifying moment before perception intervenes and untangles what just happened." - Beautiful Decay
Billy Hoff is inspired by narrative painters like N C Wyeth and Howard Pyle and excited by de Kooning's frenetic energy, while drawn to Twobly's methodically lyrical restraint.
His figurative paintings are like windows into another era - a neo-maritime narrative that speaks to sea farers of invisible heroes and impermanence. Boldly colorful, melancholic and memorable.
