Biography

Dan Hillier is acclaimed for his black line engravings that embody the ‘Steampunk’ aesthetic, combining Victorian sensibilities with a fascination for animal attributes. His work is characterized by depictions of fantastical human/animal hybrids, spliced together from late-1800s imagery. These beautiful, classically rooted images find their power in their unsettling effect, as they seamlessly blur distinctions normally implied by reality. Dan Hillier’s artworks are currently part of a group show at The Louvre, Paris, and previous exhibitions include shows at the Saatchi gallery and the ICA, London.
