About the Artwork
This piece is an example of artist Ron Hinson's three-dimensional paintings. These artworks explore color relationships, texture, surface, and form. He termed this style "nonobjective." The composition highlights a harmony and a sense of movement without depicting specific images. Hinson notes "One might respond to it as a lilting piece of music without lyrics, and with a touch of humor."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Richland School District.
About the Artist
Olympia, Washington-based artist and teacher Ron Hinson (1934-2019) created abstract, three-dimensional, painted constructions. He explains that "it is a painting because colors, shapes and drawing with the brush are of greater importance than is the three-dimensional component."Born and raised in Ohio, Hinson graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He worked in advertising in New York City before moving to the Pacific Northwest. He taught at South Puget Sound Community College and The Evergreen State College, both in Olympia, Western Washington.
