Press Release

Mitchell Hill presents ​”Island-Hop​,” an art exhibition showcasing the latest works by South Carolina artist John Crum. This new series of surrealist island paintings activate the viewer’s imagination with exquisite detail and hidden images throughout the colorful and elevated root systems.

These narrative paintings take the viewer on their own unexpected and magical journey. Always observing his surroundings, his goal is to gently capture life’s special moments while conjuring curious twists with a dreamlike quality.

On Friday, October 4th, from 5 pm to 8 pm, all guests are welcome to join Mitchell Hill and John Crum to island-hop through the display of original artwork, libations and casual conversation with the artist.
