Chris Hawkes is a Brighton-based painter working with multiple visual languages. Blend figurative and abstract elements; they create highly processed paintings.
Ideas of the sampled image, gender, taste, and queer identity are played with in the work, as they weave the auto-biographical with images lifted from art history and contemporary culture.
