About this artwork
This is an ongoing series that explores the relationship between cubism and cartoons. These works uniquely utilize a mono-type print as the foundation to the painting. The white and black marks are created through a gestural and reductive printmaking process that provides a base to respond to. Like moments in cartoons that describe movement, the swoosh type marks weave in front and behind the figures. These works are largely abstract, but upon closer…
inspection they reveal cartoonish noses, eyes, hands, feet and hooves. "Sailor-Brown" clearly references a highly recognizable cartoon figure while re-envisioning his racial makeup. The general color palette differs greatly and the figure has become largely abstracted through the process combining paint and print.

« Perception is informed by many things that we cannot visualize including sound, memory, and those dominant thoughts and obsessions that occupy our minds, that’s the stuff I want to paint. »
Carlson Hatton is an artist based in the United States whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in the Netherlands and Australia. One of the recurring themes in his art is a figure in their environment, the overwhelming effects of those surroundings, and the emotional states that we project onto others and our vicinity. Hatton's multi-layered and incredibly detailed vibrant compositions are created using acrylics and relief printing on canvas or wood.
