John Hilliard was born in Lancaster, in the UK, in 1945. He now lives and works in London. Since the late 1960s, he has become increasingly well-known for his peculiar blend of the figurative and the abstract. The chief characteristics of his photographic explorations are their broad formal and aesthetic appeal, and a working method whose rationale questions all traditional photographic practices. His work is haunted by the theme of violence - captivity, aggression, provocation and blinding flashes of light.
