Tuskers 2016

David Michael Hinnebusch made "Tuskers," a small to medium-sized artwork with gestural marks and a palette of red, green, yellow, and white. Imagine the act of painting: a process of shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition. I sympathize with Hinnebusch, imagining the experience of creating this piece. What was he thinking? The materiality is prominent—thick paint, texture, and the physicality of the medium shape our experience and contribute to the emotional and intellectual resonance. A particular gesture communicates feeling, intention, and meaning. The painting involves an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas across time, inspiring creativity. Painting is an embodied expression that embraces ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings over fixed or definitive readings.
