I Present to you... Richard Hawkins

When I went to go visit the Art Institute yesterday with a new friend from Spain, we came across Richard Hawkins Contemporary pieces. I instantly fell in love with his twisted characteristics shown in his paintings. I enjoyed his vibrant colors and awkward appeals to the human body. Some of the pictures shown below were painted images of tourist in Tokyo (don't quote me) and his view about wanting more "sexiness" in his drawings. If you ever get a chance to visit, please check them out. I felt a little immature looking at some of them because I couldn't help but laugh. I love how he characterized their bottoms, too glitter lol. But, his Zombie collection is by far the least favorite of mine. Too gory, dark, and depressing for me.
