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 title of this piece is "I'M A NOBODY TOO". This is a title I have been working around in my head for quite a while. You will see the title a little bit on the right. It is painted on Luaun plywood and has been many images that I didn't like so I painted over them. The main idea behind this is that Everyone feels like a nobody at some time and that is alright to feel that way.
