Wow. Hamlett's work is terrific. I couldn't choose just 1 photo and had to eliminate out of a stack of about 10. These two were my favorites though. I like the first piece because of all the different colors and shapes that come together to make one whole thing. It reminds me or Horton Hears a Who and Whoville because I would kind of imagine Whoville to look like that -- colorful and carefree. It makes me want to grab it which sounds weird but I feel like it would have such texture and life. I would love a painting like this in my room and I'm always a sucker for color and vibrance.
The second piece is almost confusing and spiraling. There are these huge gusts of wind pouring over the entire page or maybe its waves and a typhoon. Then there seems to be this cave of sorts peeking out from the corner with a little piece of rainbow. The rest of the piece is 4-toned with black, blue, murky green and white. Then there's just this little burst of rainbow, a little burst of hope in the midst of this wind gust or wave storm.
These pieces connect to the rest of Hamlett's work because they are all of the abstract sort with much pattern and color and distinuishedness. All of his pieces have a similar glow to them with all of these amazingly detailed shapes and colors that pop out of every corner.
Question to Hamlett: Where do you start when you start a piece of art? Which mediums do you like to work with best? How did you start working in abstract art?
