Brandon Hamilton is a multi media artist who creates abstract textural pieces from a wide array of material. His art is deeply textured and uses physical processes such as air, heat and fire, water, velocity, and gravity among others to create works from recycled and found objects; commonly using organic materials, rocks, glass and metal in his paintings with a chaotic, yet purposeful layering approach that generally assumes forms reminiscent of ethereal landscapes of the universe and a hint of more earthbound geomorphic designs.
By using the forces of nature and physics to create these pieces he often likens his art as representations of the evolution of the universe and life itself. His interest in art began early in life, inspired by a very creative family environment, and his father, Walter Hamilton- who was not only a fine arts professor, but an accomplished impressionist artist.
It wasn’t until working his way through college as a house painter that he started noticing how certain mistakes created interesting patterns; taking mental notes on how, for example, paint splatters formed, the separation or bubbling of paint that dried in the sun too fast, or different stages of drying paint that was rained on. Taking what would normally be a negative in the professional painting world and creating a positive. Mr Hamilton now owns and operates a high end painting and decorating business in Bloomington Indiana that specializes in faux and decorative painting called Rogue Renovation.
