Hiler, who uses acrylic and oil paints, has a few different series he has been working on, ranging from portraits to landscapes. He is currently working on the “Double Exposure: The Ruggles Projects,” where he adapts some of his uncle’s photographs from the 1930s and 1940s, and overlays the prints onto canvas. Hiler has been working on this series for the past eight months and will be showing his work at DUO Multicultural Arts Center on the Lower East Side this fall.
