ADAA The Art Show: Tim Hawkinson

California artist Tim Hawkinson is renowned for transforming everyday materials into objects that are as uncanny as they are poetic. Through virtuoso craftsmanship and the use of peculiar materials and drastic shifts in scale, he unsettles our expectations and startles us into perceiving the world anew. This selection of 12 tiny paintings—yes, paintings—made between 2021 and 2023 is utterly unlike—yet completely consistent with—the expansive body of work he has created over the last 35 years.
