“Simply Jazz, Far from Simple,” a solo exhibit by nationally acclaimed mixed media collage artist, Allan Hill, explores the abstract visuals and musical complexities of jazz, at
Ambre’ Studio, Thursday, March 24 to Friday, June 24
To coincide with the exhibit, Ambre’ Studio will present three live performances by internationally noted jazz musicians. Opening the Allan Hill’s jazz exhibit on Thursday, March 24, 6.30 to 9:30 p.m. is an evening of live jazz with the acclaimed Eric Mintel Duo, with Eric Mintel on piano and Dave Antonow on guitar. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

“Jazz is just the opposite of simple. It’s gritty, innovative, complex and expressive--- what I hope to accomplish in my art,” says Hill, who work has been represented in numerous major group exhibitions including the Miriam Perlman Gallery, Chicago; Sacramento Fine Arts Center; and the Berman Museum of Art, Collegeville. A resident of Bucks County, Hill’s bold abstract work has earned numerous honors and awards, and has been featured at The National Watercolor Society; Collage Artists of America; International Society of Experimental Artists; Northwest Watercolor Society, and the Western Colorado Watercolor Society. Hill recently was awarded the “Best of Show” by NOVA (Network of Victim Assistance) for their Galaxy Art Show, with 80 artists participating in Doylestown, and proceeds from art sales benefited victims of crime in Bucks County.

“As in jazz, a completed composition comes about as a result of a process, and in my process of creating visual art, I work without rules or constraints,” explains Hill. “The collaged layers of music, text, typography and anything else I have at hand are all textures to convey the rawness, improvisation and, the excitement that builds as a jazz performance. All of these elements of the painting are there to integrate the narrative, to tell the story, and to entice the viewer to engage in the experience,” adds the artist.

“The abstract expressionist work of Allan Hill explores the sights and sounds of jazz with the layers of tone, rhythm, text, hue, typography, and water media collage on paper to illustrate the complexity each moment of live jazz. Allan Hill is a true master of composition, improvisation, building his visuals, as a musician builds his moment,” sums Evelyn Beckman, Ambre’ Studio gallery owner.

Guest seating is limited to the live jazz performance. Tickets are $25 per person with advance registration. A limited number of tickets may be available at the door for $30. Ambre’ Studio is a Properties of Merit grand prize winner and was designed in 1888 by architect A.W. Leh.
Admission includes elegant ambiance and music cover, plus tempting menu of award winning soup, tantalizing French dinner rolls, pastries and complimentary glass of wine, punch, and coffee.

“Simply Jazz” refreshments are co-sponsored by Cathy’s Creative Catering & Café of Catasauqua, awarded for the second consecutive year, Arts Quest’s “Souper Bowl” champion. Their outstanding desserts are created by Amy, their very own Austrian pastry chef.
