John Hawkins

Restrospective in 2011

His art in his own words...

"My work is the woodcut, plank pine, oil ink on Japanese rice paper. The designs are drawn from nature and transferred to the block. The concern is for a pattern of line and shape, black and white. The color versions are collage, colored inks on hand-tinted paper, cut to shape and glued together. The subjects are landscape, interiors, still life and the figure. I'm a realist, but modify the image; I use a contour line with a great attention to edge. I want my work to look old-fashioned-- a romantic look."

The Atlantic Gallery has lost one of it's long standing members and is greatful for the years of sharing his work with the world.
