Sorcerers are safe. Sorcerers are powerful. They surround me, and alongside them I can escape. As my method of self care, I have built a world to retreat to, escape into. Painting itself has become my dissociative landscape, my personal decampment, a recharging station. Through my Sorcerer paintings I explore the concept of aging women as both powerful and exquisite. By synthesizing traditional bodies with otherworldly ingredients I imagine a world where all Sorcerers and all women are untethered and off duty. Hung side by side these paintings function as individual windows into the world of the Sorcerers.
Here is a glimpse into the World of the Sorcerers:
Tuesday’s Universe of powerful Sorcerers and Majek of every kind… even the mysterious Smoity Light Rainbow Zpectroom. From deep in the Rainbowrealms, shadowy figures unveil themselves: women, hieresses, goddesses, matriarks — a Sisterhood of Dynamas cast in Laser Steel. Their voices burst through Crystaline Structures and dazzle with the sublime. Sorcerers emerge from every crevice, notch, and nodule of the Outer-Etherverse… the Tuesdayverse.
“see Here!” “look There!”
Elfen Libras: these immortal faeries enthrall — all things vibrate in the Resonance of the Sorcerers. Ethereal voices resound together in unison:
“Outside it was Tuesday!” “Outside it is Tuesday!”
Olivia Hamilton (b.1995, Boston, MA) bio:
I am a painter living and working in Queens, New York. I prefer panel over canvas, fabric over plastic, and magic over mania. I am currently working on a series of Sorcerer paintings. After receiving my BFA in Sculpture and Painting at Boston University’s School of Visual Arts I moved to New York and have worked for eight different artists from painters & sculptors to installation & performance artists. I have an avid studio practice of my own, painting for 10 hours a day. Over the years I have specialized in fabric and textile sculpture and walked the line between garment construction and fine art. I have now pivoted back to oil painting, using my traditional draftsmanship and color theory training to build my outer-etherverse, my “Tuesday-verse.”
