Austin Hines Thesis Statement
My creative work consists of eight large scale paintings depicting figures screaming. The individual paintings themselves combine two concepts. One is that they’re large and unruly and in your face. The second is that each depiction has its own kind of discomforting aura around it. I have always been interested in making work that can express various reactions, and painting with more aggressive strokes can build up more expression. Those expressions that are built up by the paint help form into what the viewer can observe as being somebody screaming.
