MIKE HINC - Contemporary Artist
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Hello! I am Mike Hinc. I am a painter who works in diverse media. I have a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art from the University of Hertfordshire, a Distinction in my Access Diploma from Ware Regional College, a BA Hons Degree in English from London University and a diploma from the ACGB Post Graduate Course in Arts Administration. I have exhibited in both solo and group shows in the UK, Spain, France, Australia and at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. Having worked most of my life in the music industry with artists including Jonathan Richman, Morrissey, The Smiths, Nico, Primal Scream, The Birthday Party, and The Sisters of Mercy. As such, I am not unfamiliar with the cult of celebrity and its commodification.
- About My Art:
- Mt work celebrates transience, inadequacy and the contradictions of a commodified world. My subject is the ambivalence of experience – terror and wonderment in a human heart. My aesthetic is that of the humble postcard. My work, scribbled messages both platitudinous and profound, snatched from the frontline of the prosaic – “Weather still changeable, wish you were here”. Irony is key in an oeuvre which explores the interface between raw, felt experience and a mediated world of shrink-wrapped ideas and bite-sized epistemologies. If collage is the lingua franca of post modernism, it is also my Franglais. In a world without answers, my work neither seeks completion nor finds resolution. This is a contemporary collage where you can still “see the joins” and it is essential that you do so. That is where the art is. You are invited into a landscape stolen from Heidegger’s “World As Exhibition” where juxtaposed images combine to form alluring, imaginary worlds, which you may enter at your peril.
