Artist Statement
My world has not been discovered. Abstract painting has.
Many, many forms of art and ideals have and will be shared.
I Hiyme Brummett clearly paint abstract landscapes. So the source
of my inspiration comes from outer ideas. Outer ideas mean absolutely nothing.
I have taken the triangle and turned it into a mountain over and over again. Creating a
symbol of my own terms. My nature. My world.
These worlds, nature, home, fear all create a worldly story.
My story in which I have lived for 30 years has been a tragic, grand and hurtful tour of
things one can do in life. I have yet to sail around the world but my point; is my character
has been built from my experiences.
A painter. Nature. Mountains I have yet to see and mountains I have seen.
I brush a line with care at times and others with willingness. I can also rush a painting in
an hour’s time or paint one painting over a few month period. This is my process quick
and caring.
I would like to have absolute faith in my hands.
The storm I raced as a kid down an old dirt road near my grandmothers’ house had great
speed. But I kept running with mighty feet and a hopeful idea: that I would win.
I never beat the rainstorm. But I tried to beat nature. But nature is always unpredictable.
This is how my paintings should look when it rains.
