About this artwork
This is an acrylic painting of the Wedding Cake House. In 1918 G. T. Lester, the founder of the Lester Lumber Company in Martinsville, Virginia, designed and built this unusual-looking brick home. Because of the seeming layers (and, perhaps, the white color) the house has become known as the Wedding Cake House. The style is called Exotic-Revival. The tiered stories, the roofline with the projecting piers, the central tower, the corbelled brickwork… and the arcaded porch collectively contribute to the castle-like appearance of the home, although the structure is not extremely large. This painting is expressionistic in execution and represents for me the difficulties and hard times that Martinsville has experienced when its core industries left the area as has happened throughout the southeastern part of the United States. The person walking on the sidewalk is trying to find his way through the dark under a troubled sky.
Charles Hill is a painter with a rich background in both art and mathematics, drawing inspiration from old masters and modern greats, and working in oils, acrylics, and pencil. He masterfully employs photo-realism, surrealism, and post-impressionistic styles, building intricate layers with glazing, dry brush, and wet-on-wet techniques. His art explores the interconnections between art, science, and mathematics, powerfully evoking both the visible world and its hidden, inner dimensions, inviting viewers into profound contemplation and awe.
