Katchinas Dancing
$24.00The artist Hammond grew up in NY, but moved to Cincy in 2012 and quickly became part of the city's art scene, founding the Cincinnati Abstract Art Group in 2014. Much of his work has a well developed and bold style, singing with bright colors and abstract shapes.
This piece is called Kachinas Dancing and stood out for being one of Hammonds more full color paintings. Many of his artworks feature greys or lighter colors that mute the overall piece in a way. This one does most of the work with the gradients and pairing of colors next to each other. We wanted to include a piece that had just as much abstraction in the colors as it does in it's use of shapes.
A Note From Ashley - Hammond's work reminds me of a mix of Picasso and Keith Haring, with a whole lot of self expression and exploration in between. Much like Aminah Robinson's work, the use of so many strong colors together is impressive as hell to me. Personally, I thrive more in the minimalist art category, so seeing just vibrant and dominant colors all working well together seems impossible to me.
