The Art Spotlight show in August is an exhibition of Jamaican-born artist Mark Anthony Hill and his unique blend of African and 20th century European cubism art. Hill’s opening reception will be Aug. 3, from 3-7 p.m. at the Art Spotlight, located at 67 W. Granada Blvd. The show will run through Aug. 31.

Born in Montego-Bay, Jamaica, Mark Anthony Hill also excelled as an athlete. In 1998, he was recruited to join the famous Jamaican bobsled team, which the movie “Cool Runnings” was about.

In 2008, Hill settled in Florida to do what he loves, paint. Hill has said that his experience as a bobsledding pilot, during which he was responsible for walking and memorizing every curve and every bank of the serpentine tracks in advance of competitions, still informs the energy and spatial expression in his paintings.

Art Spotlight is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and other days by appointment.
