Raised in the vibrant city of Baltimore, Maryland, Hilary Bond is a graduate of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art with a BFA and holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Drawing inspiration from the artistic influences of Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, and Egon Schiele, Bond specializes in crafting bold portrayals of strong women. Through her work, Bond delves into the nuances of contemporary femininity and explores the intricate relationship between the artist's 'muse' and the concept of female identity.
The artist began painting models like
Kate Moss in her exploration of the “ideal” female and relates her images of
women to Edouard Manet’s “Olympia.” Her
bold color palette and thick black outlining emphasizes female strength and
assertiveness and confronts the idea that women must be quiet and submissive.
Hilary Bond’s work has been exhibited all
over the country in both group and solo exhibitions. Her work has been featured on television in
CBS’s “Two Broke Girls” and Sony’s “LA’s Finest.”
