Lorin Hesse

Paintings that feel like drawings or drawings that feel like paintings,  is a middle ground where both Lorin Hesse and I live. The only reason to distinguish the mediums is for school, really. I am drawn to  Hesse's palate and compositional style.The subject matter runs down the same lines as Kojo Griffin, but the landscapes and approach are completely different. It seems as though Hesse has been heavily influenced by cartoons and children's book illustrations as well as the classical tradition making for a delightful conflict in depiction. Hesse incorporates projections and transfers as layers, which adds visual interest in the layers mixed with a more traditonal compositional approach, lending a floating, and surreal sense of space
