About Me
- Rick Hamilton art
- These paintings are my story. the story behind each one is as important as the painting itself. My work captures the duality of hardness and softness in people. Don't trust happiness,but things will be alright. Using bold colors I lure the viewer into a story of brokeness,fear,and shame. My paintings are successful when they lure people out of a sleepwalk to say"yes, me too". For fifteen years I have painted compulsively and learned through doing how to better tell each story. I paint on wood so that I can work the colors hard using brushes or my hand. I sand through layers of paint to bring colors up from underneath. These paintings are for people who know darkness and appreciate the light.

The Gardener
This painting is based on a song I heard called the Gardener. It is about a man that feels he can't live up to what the woman in his life wants him to be. He is paranoid that other men are trying to take his place with her. He murders them all and grows a pretty garden with their bones. He is proud of the garden and wants to show her.
