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.
Artists I like
Would probably best wish I didn't name them.....Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio,William Hogarth, Claude Lorrain, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, J.W. Waterhouse, Edvard Munch, Paul Cezanne, Chaim Soutine, Pablo Picasso, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, Yves Klein, Josef Beuys, RB Kitaj, Sigmar Polke, Francesco Clemente, Enrico Baj, JM Basquiat, Sean Hillen, Julian Schnabel, Don Van Vliet, John Baldessari, Jake & Dino Chapman, Sandy Skoglund, Jeff Wall
Interests
People, places, poetry, paint and pixels - waving at strangers

STRANGENESS IN THE GARDEN

..................... At last I think it's finally finished. I started this series in 2004 and now there are over 100 images. I'm almost hoping no more will follow - They take forever to make and worse yet, I'd have to remake the show reel to include new material!



Way back when I started this series I knew that I wanted an “open” narrative, so that the imagination of the viewer could find a meaning in each image. I am interested in the process by which the practice… Continue
