Jef7rey Hildner

“ARCHITECTURE IS THE STAGE SET FOR THE DRAMA OF LIFE.”

“A BOOK IS A PAPER MOVIE.”

Jef7rey Hildner is an award-winning architect, painter, and writer—and founder of The Architect Painter Press, an independent publisher that primarily features Hildner’s books, which explore the architecture of art and life.

TAPP's compass: “Live Brave · Finding Neo.”

Titles of some of Hildner's 12 books convey the range of his endeavor: Visual Ef9ects: Architecture and the Chess Game of Form & Story • Picasso Lessons: The Sixth Woman of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon • Henry Trucks — Painter : ancient myths meet modern landscapes • Disturbance: Beyond the Matrix | Toward an Architecture ZI • The World in a Rectangle—Daedalus 9: The Labyrintheum | House of the Hero’s Journey.

And the sci-fi thriller, a graphic novel by his alter ego Michelangelo A. Roland Slate: Call Me Daedalus.

The Architect Painter Press recently expanded to publish books by other artists, commencing with On the Use of Mirrors in the Game of Chess: Painting as Ritual, by Richard Rosa, to which Hildner contributed the publisher's preface, "Magic S.h.o.w."

Like the first architects—oracles, astronomer-priests—Jef7rey quests to grok the Architecture of the Form & Story of Reality.

And give artistic expression to his vision.

He draws inspiration from the ancient Greek myth about the protagonist Joseph Campbell called “the hero of the way of thought”—the architect of the Labyrinth and Wings:

Daedalus.

“ARCHITECTURE IS A STORY TOLD THROUGH A BUILDING.”
