Video-Description by garihatch – 19.04.2012

These paintings are sculpted mixed-medium materials. The emphasis being form, texture and color. These sculpted textural paintings were created between 2006 – 2012.

I have been selling my paintings by „word-of-mouth“ and on Facebook. At present, I have had four art exhibits at three public libraries in the Jackson, Mississippi Metropolitan area.

I started painting in 2005 and I am self-taught. My paintings are both created in acrylic and oil pigments. I also use mixed mediums of plaster, latex medium, paper, stone, shell, glass, fabric, etc. The themes of my paintings are a mix of realism, abstract and non-objective methods. I also have done a few sculptures recently.

„Reflections on Painting“

When painting and sculpting texture, I find that I dwell, most truthfully, in the strokes of paint that fade and blur on the canvas. The feathered light strokes that depart from the delineated forms into that „no man’s land,“ leaving one color and moving to another. This ambiguous and existential space in my paintings represents my inner spirit. I always acknowledge the clear strong lines but truly reside with those blurring strokes between them. My own identity pays homage to the distinct but feels most at home with that space of „transition,“ the world of the lifting, drifting stroke.

These paintings and collages were created by the artist, Gari Hatch, between 2005 – 2012 and have been revised sometimes after years of remaing in the closet. Also the collages are real preserved leaves, moths, butterflies, seedpods, tree branches and other natural elements.
