- I am...
- Mike Hinc. Hello!. I have worked most of my life in theatre and the music industry with artists including Jonathan Richman, Morrissey, The Smiths, Nico, Primal Scream, The Birthday Party, and The Sisters of Mercy. As such, I am not unfamiliar with the cult of celebrity and its commodification.
- About my artwork
- As a painter, I work in diverse media - celebrating transience, inadequacy and the contradictions of a commodified world. My subject is the ambivalence of experience – terror and wonderment in a human heart. My aesthetic is that of the humble postcard. My work, scribbled messages both platitudinous and profound, snatched from the frontline of the prosaic – “Weather still changeable, wish you were here”. Irony is key in an oeuvre which explores the interface between raw, felt experience and a mediated world of shrink-wrapped ideas and bite-sized epistemologies. If collage is the lingua franca of post modernism, it is also my Franglais. In a world without answers, my work neither seeks completion nor finds resolution. This is a contemporary collage where you can still “see the joins” and it is essential that you do so. That is where the art is. You are invited into a landscape stolen from Heidegger’s “World As Exhibition” where juxtaposed images combine to form alluring, imaginary worlds, which you may enter at your peril.

Referred to Marty, public praxis and your pic, I must tell you that I do an effort to discriminate each one to each other, maybe focusing problems on my eagle sight.
won't you thinking on tattoo your right arms too, will you?
Why my magic moment?
hugs
I saw you made a lot of new very strong new pieces!!!
consistent, sophisticated slightly morbid, yet contemporary creations .. as crazy .. for example perfume from thirty years ago (the one that Grandma -ladies used, and then surprise surreal, witty and emotionally :-))
Good work tho :D
all the best to you in this New Year, go on with your great creativity!
Cheers
Cheers, Mik
