Jonathan Hill’s Featured Collection at Troisieme Café foregrounds the tension between control and chance — the disciplined language of graphic design meeting the unpredictability of painterly gesture. Across canvases and limited digital prints, Hill creates layered portraits and abstracted fragments that act like pages from a visual diary: rehearsed marks, erased lines, and deliberate imperfections accumulate to form images that feel at once familiar and elusive. By repetition and partial revelation, these works ask viewers to consider what is shown and what remains folded away — the private shards of identity that comprise a public face. Placed within the everyday setting of the café, the collection invites casual encounter: small revelations revealed in a moment over coffee.

Unified Creative Exchange and Troisieme Café present Jonathan Hill — a Wilmington-based graphic designer and painter — with a featured collection on view April 17–June 7, 2026. Hill’s practice merges hand-painted processes and contemporary design, producing work that examines identity, memory, and the fragmented moments that shape how we see ourselves and others.

Jonathan Hill (Wilmington, DE) moves fluidly between digital design and hand-painted work. His pieces often read like a visual journal: experimental, process-driven, and guided by intuition. Using repetition and ragmented moments—parts of the self that are usually hidden—inviting viewers to locate personal resonance within the work.

“I want to highlight the fragmented pieces that people typically do not see; the parts of one self that are kept secret or never brought to light.” — Jonathan Hill
