About this artwork

This series of paintings, Clockwork Oranges, started unintentionally. I had been working on paintings that combined abstract, geometric forms with snippets of realistic landscape. In the process I did a painting using orange circles, some drip elements and a series of rectilinear shapes. Since it was going in a show I ad to name it. While looking at the work, I was reminded of the mechanical works of old wind-up clocks. So I titled it “Clockwork… Oranges” (with apologies to Stanley Kubrick) who had directed the film of a similar name.

The 1972 film “A Clockwork Orange” portrays a dystopian future saturated with drugs, blatant consumerism and random violence, peopled with venal politicians, mega corporations run by amoral oligarchs and a clueless elite.

These paintings are inspired by a recognition of our current culture’s similarity to Kubrick’s vision.

« Making a painting or a print is like composing music, it's an arrangement of shapes, lines, and colors that evokes a nonverbal reaction in the viewer. »

James A. Hamilton III is an award-winning American artist whose works have been exhibited in the United States. He declines conceptual art, stating that he is a painter, not a philosopher or propagandist. Instead, Hamilton's artistic practice is informed by the arrangement of shapes, as suggested in nature or his immediate physical environment, in the most instinctively pleasing manner he can. His process begins with line drawing in pencil or ink and is finished with oils and pastels.
