Hamilton (‘Ham’) Darroch is a contemporary artist whose work is a reflection on 20th-century modernism and 21st-century life. His creative output is driven by an unwavering intellectual curiosity, rich use of colour and masterful technical ability informed by a practice that spans more than two decades. His large-scale, site-responsive wall paintings, works on canvas and paper, series of wall-mounted objects, and performative projects are at once conceptually rigorous, lively and uplifting. They feel familiar in that they recall moments of modernist art history, yet they are fresh and full of the potential of a new relationship.
