Absent without Leave

Bronwyn Hill is a Brisbane based painter whose practice predominantly focuses on portraiture and figurative representation. Recognised for her sensual photo-real oil paintings, full of poetic narratives and gentle observation, her work often explores ideas of self-analysis and introspection within moments of personal solitude. Imbued with a sense of stillness and contemplation, Hill’s use of light and shadow and its emotional impact is a recurring feature of her images, as is her subtle use of colour and exquisite depiction of natural forms.
