RICHARD HAWKINS | Edition with Texte zur Kunst, 2024

"Can fangirling be an artistic approach? Richard Hawkins’s work has always been predicated on almost fanatical art historical research, permeated with an equally important obsession with the visual and corporeal pleasures of gay life and its manifestations in online and print culture. His diligent study of artists such as Antonin Artaud, Forrest Bess, or Pierre Bonnard branches into reevaluations and stylistic diversions, entangling old masters and young men, OnlyFans and portrait galleries, aesthetic and sexual pleasures, teenage heartthrobs and gay porn icons. For 'Entanglement Titties,' Hawkins has appropriated a landscape by the US painter Charles Burchfield, turning it on its head while giving us heads: three in total, they are entangled by the titular titties of the central figure, who tops the upper part of the composition."
