Jack Hamrick Art, Blowing Rock, NC
I travel the world, taking landscape, wildlife, and travel photos. I’ve photographed 40+ States and 7 continents. I do minimal I am most fortunate to live in a cabin on the Mountain to Sea Trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. My environment informs my art with intense organic energy and color. I create art that provides the viewer with an experience of visceral visual stimulation.
As a Colorist, I render heavily pigmented, energetic compositions, often saturating the canvas with complimentary oil and acrylic pigments. Art history, other artists, life experience, and nature provide ready sources of inspiration for my paintings. I am fascinated by color and color theory and use both in a practiced and studied manner. Symbolism, metaphor, and preconscious meaning are embedded and suggested throughout my art.
