Hamish Blakely – Out of Work Angels

The New Immigrants

I have discovered the wonderful work of Hamish Blakely whilst on holiday in Devon. I was fortunate to have spotted his paintings of Out of Work Angels at the Castle Gallery in Exeter.

I am proud to have been granted permission to feature a link to his website here on my blog. The LINK will take you to a short film clip in which Hamish explains his philosophy. I was taken with his approach using contemporary realism to tackle the subject of angels who are no longer in demand in our western society since religion has been pushed aside in favour of commerce, our new god. Are we dancing around the golden calf all over again?

Art collectors will love his beautiful fine art paintings created with great skill from his fantastic imagination.
