GALLERY ROUNDS: Olivia Hill at Bel Ami, Los Angeles "The combination of reality and imagination at play in Hill’s paintings are a nod to the surreal landscape that is greater Los Angeles. As a city memorialized through Hollywood, images have become ingrained in our collective memory so thoroughly that the cityscape can be called to the mind even by those who have never been. Hill’s exhibition points out both the underlying artifice of these immortal images, such as her piece Cave Painting, Bronson Caves 34°07’17.4′′N 118°18’51.9′′W. Without looking at the title, it would be easy to read this painting as a classic, somewhat impressionist-style painting of a foreboding cliff face and cave entrance."
