Richard Hawk Art
American, b. 1952
American painter Richard Hawk creates work with a coalescence of mediums. Oxidized copper merges with oil paint in a way that brings out the beauty of a decayed patina. The results are eloquent and powerful, with imagery that is open to interpretation. Hawk is inspired by the human body, duality, eternity and the natural processes of decay. Each piece begins with taking hundreds of photographs of a model or scene to thoroughly capture the form he will create on canvas. Occasionally, he will combine several photos into one finished painting, adding a visual sumptuousness to the art.
Hawk was born in New York in 1952. His parents provided an enriching environment where he was encouraged to pursue academics. He began his career in advertising design and illustration, working on many commercial projects and film productions. Eventually, he shifted his practice to fine art and moved to California.
Hawk’s work is in private and public collections worldwide. General Electric commissioned him to create a piece for its New York offices. Called Jet Engine Mandala, the painting has a metallic copper tone that emphasizes the mechanical components of a jet engine and its striking geometry.

Original-Sunlit-Spring in Autumn Abstract-Expression-Gold Leaf-UK Awarded Artist
Located in London, GB
The 'Sunlit' series is an exploration of the colour yellow and its healing effect to the ones who were impacted by grief.
This is one of the artist, Shizico Yi's personal favourites for its subtle changing of the golden tones when viewing in different time of the day.
The pictorial language in this series pays homage to Japanese Woodblock prints. In her latest series, titled 'Prayers,' Shizico employs various type of Dahlias as symbols of peace. Dahlias, which bloom in autumn, brighten up the garden amidst the early winter chill, symbolizing regeneration and hope for life.
The name of the painting is a reference to a poem by Du Fu (712-770 AD), one of his poignant poems that portrays the landscape in a war zone in his hometown. After nature reclaims the places where people once lived.
As an artist working in the studio, there's a sense of helplessness in the face of such changing time.
Through these paintings in Prayer series, Shizico aims to convey her heartfelt prayers in times like these.
It's also a form of self-reflection on the role of the artist in society.
