About the Artwork
Artist Ron Hinson composed Untitled #8 around a vertical axis, exploring color, texture and form. This allowed him to play with imbalance and asymmetry among the component forms and colors.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Tahoma 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.
