The style of American artist Sarah Hinckley is ethereal and airy, her paintings are abstract expressions with nuanced references to landscape and botanical motifs. She usually paint oil paint and watercolor.
Small watercolour works on papers, tending towards the minimal, with muted colours and smooth surfaces, some paitings reveal a bolder palette, and at times, the surfaces permit brushwork and other painterly accident, bearing witness to the process.
This painterly accident is what I like and what effect my paintings from time to time (explain in next blog Critic) her paintings stem promarily from her encounters with "surroundings", triggered by a colou, a shape, an impression, an emotion, a memory...
I'm very into this description of her:
In her studio all elements past and present, thought and process come together, not in order, not fully understaood, not yet resolved, somewhat remembered - and momentarity, order, resolution, clarity and balance are achieved, overall, Hinkley's paintings, as well as her titles, give us a peek into her world, simply hinting without defining, leaving the viewer to come away with his or her own impressions, the general tone remains one of universal hope.
