Jazz colours and unsettling passion .... overt seduction and a searchingly provocative form of exposure .... dancing light and an almost wild vitality .... immediate sensations experienced before a painting Hamilton<\/strong>. Climactic colour in fluorescents or stark blacks & whites explode life into Thora Hamilton\u2019s intriguing XXL presences in a fusion of sensual mystery: dramatically slashed-on paint fires the alluring eyes, lush bee-stung lips and fly-away hair of Hamilton\u2019s blow-ups, touchable almost and so close-to, in a time-trapped instant of face-to-face<\/p>

A post-Pop expressionist by definition, Thora paints rapidly on the floor, sliding paint into form from all angles in spontaneous sequences of mark-making, rippling the whole with the precision-drawn features of faces and figures at once vulnerable yet forceful, reticent but also wilful in their complexity of presence.<\/p>

A post-Pop expressionist by definition, Thora paints quickly on the floor, creating shapes from all sides in spontaneous streams of color and sequences of signs, interposed with the precise contours and features of faces and figures that appear to be vulnerable even though they are resistant, reticent and also very determined in their complex and contradictory presence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Born in Scotland, Thora Hamilton won numerous awards and the renowned post-graduate bursary with studio, after graduating with an MA in Fine Arts from Edinburgh College of Art & University.<\/p>

A desire for colour, sensuality and passion brought this Scottish artist to her beloved Italy, leaving behind the security of a gallery career in the UK where she was becoming known, for the challenge of the unknown, a Celt by origin in the fiery world of those so like-minded Italians, paying no heed to the many obstacles encountered along the way. Events then whirled her into the spectacularly pure Latin reality of exotic Venezuela. Today she lives and works between Margarita Island in Venezuela and Rome in Italy, a combination she adores and finds is a perfect match for her own temperament, working with architects and designers by commission, and for shows or just solo.<\/p>

Hamilton\u2019s works are to be found in collections around the world, from her native Scotland and the UK, to Israel and New York, from Singapore and Dubai to Venezuela, Buenos Aires and all over Italy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
