Curatorial notes
Editor: This is an untitled painting by Roger Hilton, and it feels so… playful! The bright colours and bold shapes just jump off the canvas. What do you see in this work? Curator: Well, it's like a visual jazz solo, isn't it? Hilton's throwing these colours and forms together with such confidence. I feel the spirit of post-war liberation. Do you see the almost child-like quality in his forms? Editor: Yeah, I do. It's so free and uninhibited! Curator: It reminds me that art doesn't always need to be serious, you know? Sometimes it's just about the pure joy of creation, the wiggle and wobble of life itself. Editor: I never thought of it that way before, but I totally get it now. Curator: Glad to have added an additional lens.
