NEW YORK SERIES

Drawn from months of walking and sketching through New York, this series of large-scale mixed media works captures the city’s layered intensity through recurring street-level symbols: flags, sirens, monuments, scaffolding, trash, rats, and figures. Pieced together from daily life at intersections, corners, and sidewalks, the works form restless montages of urban clutter, where charm and abrasion coincide.

The paintings shift between figuration and abstraction, exploring the contradictions of urban life - grit and glamour, order and disruption, structure and decay. They assemble fragments of the everyday into highly saturated, looming forms shaped by negative space, echoing the vertical pressure of Manhattan’s built environment. Within them, a tension unfolds between individual presence and institutional might.

This is Lachie Hinton’s first solo exhibition since relocating from Australia to the United States.
