As a child I was always fascinated by the Japanese models and toys at the comic book store. The fact that I couldn't read read the type or knew what the source material was added a level of surreality to them. This was my attempt to recreate that feeling I had studying their boxes.  This may be a theme that I revisit in the future.

A promise of safe harbors on the horizon

I feel that many of my pieces have a subtle narrative to them. Often they have characters who are helping or advising.

So I'm just getting started here.

Brian Hatfield is an artist out of Seattle, Washington. He attended the Art Institute of Seattle, however he considers himself mostly self taught. He’s most definitely a child of the 80s. Fed on a pop-culture diet of Star Wars, Voltron and Robotech, he attempts to recapture the simpler times of his life, playing underneath the coffee table with action figures, Hot Wheels and various die-cast toys. The main influence in his work comes from 2 toy lines from that time period, Shogun Warriors and GoDaiKin. A child hood friend of his was lucky enough to have a father who traveled and would bring him those most amazing toy robots. They were unlike any American toys. They were large and made of metal with primary colors with shooting missiles and fists. When he paints, it is in part, to own and play with those toys that were out of reach.

He states that his painting have no real subtext or deeper meaning that a sense of play.
