Ron Hicks


Remember this name: Ron Hicks. This middle-aged artist grew up in Ohio and attended classes at the Columbus College of Art and Design on scholarship. Eventually he moved West and graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art and also worked as a freelance illustrator for a while. I am smitten with his beautifully impressionist and emotionally charged paintings - the figures, the interiors, the shapes, the muted pallette, the moody atmospheric tone... The layers of emotion unravelled by brushstrokes make me wonder what's the story behind the painting.

    Não é forçoso que haja algo por detrás de uma pintura. Pode ser tudo apenas imaginação.

    ó Nancy não sabes o que é fazer férias com os meus pais, o meu pai não quer pegar no carro, estaciona em frente ao hotel e lá fica, nunca vejo nada! eu queria muito ir a Lagos e Tavira, Portimão até, qualquer coisa, mas Albufeira já chega e Quarteira sempre não me enjoa tanto x)

    I have seen the first painting before and I really love it. I had no idea this guy was from Columbus - that's where I live too!
