SV Patricia ghost ship in studio 2

Ghost Ship
A Large atmospheric painting in the current series. The Patricia services the buoys on the South Coast in all weathers - venturing closer to the Dungeness shingle bank than any other ship of her size.

These paintings reflect the painter Paddy Hamilton's birth and upbringing in Africa.

In Africa the boundaries between art and craft blur. Making art is an everyday activity carried out by the majority.

The artist's approach to painting, drawing, printmaking and commissioned work embraces an earthy conceptualism.
The intention is always to avoid the unnecessary and make work without complication or the need for lengthy explanation.

That which surrounds us is the basis for the work. Landscape, the human form, flowers, a shared experience, abstract ideas, colour and paint itself are all worthy subjects for exploration.

The paintings are thematic without a conscious style - some projects reach a conclusion - others are self-sustaining with endless variations on a common theme - see perspectrum

If you require a painting to explore your own interest or subject contact us to commission a painting.
