About
Citing inspiring pop and modernist artists such as Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, and Egon Schiele, American artist Hilary Bond explores contemporary femininity through boldly colored portraits of female figures. Her bold color palette, energetic layers, and thick outlines emphasize female strength. Through images of iconic women such as Kate Moss or Kim Kardashian, Bond likens her work to that of Monet's famous "Olympia", in which the female figure confronts femininity as a source of power.

Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, American culture, and childhood influence Hilary Bond’s choices in color, brush work, material, and composition: "I was searching for inspiring female figures and a female ideal, archetype, and muse. I started painting models, in particular, Kate Moss. The composition and line quality influence my color choice and ultimately the overall emotion of the work. I want my paintings to be mysterious, beautiful, assertive, and to have their own inner dialogue."
Hilary Bond was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. After attending the Baltimore School for the Arts she went to The Cooper Union and received her BFA in 2007. Hilary’s artworks are featured on the CBS hit show “2 Broke Girls” and have been exhibited and collected internationally.
