Things we leave behind - Flame Painting

Hamish is a New Zealand based printmaker and painter. His work consistently features landscapes, seascapes or horizons. Combining printmaking, mixed media and digital manipulation, he layers traditional and modern techniques to create fresh perspectives. “Having grown up in New Zealand, coastal and mountain themes are predominant in the my work. With my home now in London, I am influenced by how man-made structures compete with the landscape. I feature the contrast between the harsh, angular lines of architectural forms (usually brutalist or modernist structures) interacting with the fluid, organic backdrop of nature.” Hamish is a member of ArtCan, a charitable arts organisation that supports emerging and established artists through profile raising activities, philanthropic events and exhibitions. He has exhibited work in galleries in London and across the UK, and also in New York and New Zealand. His work is held in private collections in New Zealand, Australia, LA, South Africa and the UK.
