For EJ Hill, Art Is an Act of Faith
SHARE

EJ Hill’s solo exhibition at 52 Walker, titled “Low-slung Promises on the Tongues of the Devout,” offers a unique and introspective experience for visitors. The exhibition features a mix of paintings, church kneelers, and mixed-media works, all centered around the artist himself. Hill’s Catholic upbringing serves as a foundation for cultivating a secular spirituality that aims to create a space for healing and hope.

The neon signs in the exhibition add a surreal and almost religious atmosphere to the space, breaking away from typical associations with nightlife or consumerism. Hill’s use of ecclesiastical objects to create modernist-inspired artworks challenges viewers to explore themes of faith, identity, and endurance. The artist’s presence in the gallery, kneeling in silent reverence within a curtained area, adds a personal and emotional depth to the overall experience.

The exhibition showcases Hill’s exploration of spirituality through a contemporary lens, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersection of religion, art, and personal belief. By blending elements of performance art with traditional artistic mediums, Hill creates a space that encourages contemplation and introspection. The juxtaposition of colorful paintings depicting natural elements with the solemnity of the artist’s presence creates a nuanced and thought-provoking atmosphere.

Hill’s performance as a Black artist in a predominantly White art space adds another layer of complexity to the exhibition, highlighting the pressures and expectations placed on artists of color in the art world. Through his art and presence, Hill challenges traditional notions of identity and representation, inviting viewers to engage with themes of faith, endurance, and self-discovery.

Overall, “Low-slung Promises on the Tongues of the Devout” offers a unique and immersive experience that blends art, spirituality, and personal expression. Hill’s thoughtful and introspective approach to his work creates a space for dialogue and reflection, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of faith, identity, and contemporary art. The exhibition, curated by Ebony L. Haynes, is on display at 52 Walker in Tribeca, Manhattan, until September 13th.
