Steve Hickok

From: Massachusetts | Medium: Mixed-media paintings

An artist of international stature, Steve Hickok has exhibited his work throughout North America and the world (London, Paris, and Seoul) alongside legendary masters—Matisse, Picasso, and Dali.

Steve has enjoyed considerable success, but his focus has not been solely on his own work. For over twelve years he has collaborated with younger artists, educating and encouraging them in the pursuit of their careers. Hickok, himself, was the youngest artist accepted by the Suzanne Brown Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona where he exhibited along with Fritz Scholder and Ed Mell.

His residence and studio are in Atlanta, Georgia.

Artist Statement

Some of my creations are consciously selected themes. At other times they are a mystery, only revealed as the paintings are complete. In all, they represent the journey of life with its sharp turns and labyrinthine passages. I love strong lines, convincing textures, powerful shapes and contrast.

I’m passionate about allowing nature to direct my work, which is why I paint and render on wood with its endless personalities.

My travels have allowed me to experience the beauty and diversity of motifs and cultures around the world. The multiple square paintings (“Coalesce”) are snapshots of the places and people who have enriched my spirit. And “Passages” is a meditation on ups and downs, climbing and descending through this world in the endless search for home.

Though he was formed by the Southwest, Steve’s travels have taken him around the world. His work, therefore, reveals a broad cultural mix, blending Asian, European and North American elements.
