Richard Hawk

New York City-born Richard Hawk enjoyed a demanding career as a communications and advertising designer for fortune 500 companies and universities before moving to
full time fine art in the early 2000’s. He has been awarded for his ground breaking paintings with numerous shows exhibiting on both coasts including his home studio
base outside of San Diego, California. Prolific and internationally known, his works of oil on copper can be found in many collections around the world.

One art investment broker remarked that “Hawk has achieved something truly novel and his artwork will stand the test of time as being the first person to develop this
technique, style and approach to a blank surface. There are followers and there are leaders, and Richard Hawk falls unquestionably into the latter.”

In the beginning, explorations into the use of copper as a substrate for paintings were experiments. Success upon success with his signature marriage of copper and paint
led to devotion to the metal, now an intrinsic part of his work. The reason, says Hawk: a dynamic, active surface. “It glows with life,” he says, “and the painting morphs as
light changes during the day. Just walking past it reveals new layers and voices each time.”
