Vincent Hawkins




























Seemingly compelled by a need to move forward Vincent Hawkins’ paintings are characterised by a feeling of experimentation that borders on restlessness.
This unwillingness (or perhaps inability) to settle means Hawkins’ practice is never static, never predictable. This is, of course, a great strength. Constant questing is risky but success makes it worth it and Hawkins’ hit rate is high. Paintings take from their predecessors, processes adapt and morph and the results are exciting.

Love this painting... it is like controlled poured paint, a Helen Frankenthaler that is more contained... very interesting work! Thank you.

Love Vincent's work! I think his interest in line and form result, as you said, in really exciting output. I especially like his newer, more peared down use of line that drift between boundaries of drawing and painting.
