Painted in 2015, Study in Black and White distills Hill’s practice to its essential elements: gesture, line, and contrast. Color is reduced to near absence, allowing structure to emerge through incision and interruption. Marks are direct and unmediated, cutting across the surface with a sense of urgency while maintaining a precise internal balance.

Presented here as a print, the work is translated to preserve the clarity and tension of the original canvas. The exhibition-style format reinforces its restraint, giving the composition space to assert itself without excess.
