Still Life | Hamish Flemming

Hamish Fleming’s paintings sit where classical technique meets the rough edges of contemporary life. Hamish is drawn instinctively to the unregarded, roadside structures, everyday objects, fragments of infrastructure, subjects that might easily be overlooked if not for the careful, searching attention he brings to them. His work carries the visual language of realism, but the mood is distinctly modern, and slightly gritty.

The aesthetic has something of a grunge sensibility. Hamish works exclusively from life, refusing the convenience of reference images or digital tools. Many of the paints he uses are ground by hand from raw pigments, a slow and deliberate process that connects the physical material of the painting directly to the act of observation.
