United States Coast Guard Veteran Rob Hill is a geometric abstract painter working out of Los Angeles and Denver. Hill is best known for applying his aesthetic to an array of surfaces including canvas, denim, leather, wood, glass, marble, silk, and metal. The principal theme of his work is unity through diversity, which is represented by an intersection of line, texture, angle, and color. Rob's affinity for geometric patterning can be linked to ancient Egyptian design and mid-century abstraction.
