“My drawings/photographs search the present moment; my paintings search for moments past.”
Images in Hartman’s paintings and photography generally explore color, place, and memory. The intuitive, expressionistic paintings capture a feeling, an imperfect memory or observation. When an image is inspired by a photograph, the aim is to convey what it cannot.
Images invite the viewer to complete the thought or emotion using their own experiences. Interpretive. Expressionist.
