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.

King of a Pile of Shit
This painting is titled " King of a Pile of Shit". There story behind the title goes roughly like this. I was in a group meeting and a friend was talking about all the things he could do to improve his life. In the end he was still the King of a Pile of Shit. I loved that saying and worked hard to remember it for the rest of the meeting and did and here is what became of it.
