About
Bill Hoover has been making art in Omaha Nebraska for over thirty years. His art is a dynamic synthesis of his interior and exterior worlds, with a strong emphasis on storytelling. Using oil paint, charcoal, graphite, and textures like sand and glue, he builds up his paintings using shapes and colors both muted and bright, till he arrives at a place that is fresh, meditative, and surprising. Over the years his style has deepened and matured, evolving into a complex and layered vocabulary of narrative and symbolism. His paintings are collected throughout the United States, and he has shown in New York and Baltimore, as well as The Museum of Nebraska Art, The Joslyn, and Omaha's The Kaneko and Bemis.
