NATURE is the driving force of this riveting exhibition based on the gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth's bodies of waters. Exploring the spectrum of color, shape and frequency of sound, artist Arica Hilton's paintings delve into the meaning of the TIDES in a direct and indirect menu of materials, both real and metaphorical.
Hilton's works consist of oil on canvas and acrylic on acrylic canvasses reimagined to address contemporary environmental issues such as climate change, plastic pollution and our oceans and its inhabitants, expressed through art, music and poetry. Hilton partnered with Conductor Vladimir Kulenovic to conceptualize this exhibition and the multidisciplinary performance, Nature in Concert, which launches in January. Price list upon request. |

Hilton’s own artistic pursuits began with writing poetry and expanded to painting when she began to illustrate her poems. Her artistic evolution sparked an interest in the realm of creation, and she discovered mathematics, physics, quantum mechanics, and string theory. Her studies solidified her passion for environmentalism when she learned that stars are nothing more than another extension of humanity – that the elements in the bloodstream are the same elements that comprise a star. The interconnection was what Hilton had been searching for her whole life. As Hilton says, “We are the same as a star. How beautiful is that?” Today, Hilton is a visual artist, poet and global advocate who travels worldwide to enrich her life and the lives of others. She is based in Chicago, where she is the director of Hilton Asmus Contemporary, a gallery platform that she leverages to support artists and environmentalists who seek change for a better world.
