James Hawkins

In 2009 my 8 year old son got me back into the arts after a 30 year hiatus through drawing. My drawings BELOW (scroll down) are mathematically rooted triptychs. They explore MY thoughts on the roots of ART going back to a time we humans dwelt in caves & the artists were the seers & shaman creating MAGICAL images.
Fine arts: I had 5 museum shows by my 24th birthday. (Long Beach, Laguna, Cal Arts, UC Irvine & Balboa Art Museums.)
Fine Arts 10,000 connections;
5 Museum shows.
I pioneered the following Minimalist Art movements in the 60's:
Light as painting
Sound as sculpture
Magnetism as moving sculptures
Non Functional Art
Art that must be touched, turned on and searched to fully experience that piece of art
