Meet Cory Hyatt Hines
Cory, the Artist
Welcome, I was raised in a suburb of Philadelphia, PA and graduated from The College of Charleston with a BA in Studio Art and a MFA from Savannah College of Art and Design in Graphic Design. After silencing the painting part of my creative soul for 15 years, I realized I was denying a huge part of who she was. “Contemporary,” “geometric” and “abstract.” Those three words come closest to capturing my artistic style. You’ll find modern, geometric formulas in my work, where I explore key composition elements, bringing them forward through color and texture. My techniques draw from my training as a classical artist as well as my experience as a graphic designer.
Artist Statement
My artwork is a culmination of my experiences and training as both a classical artist and a graphic designer. My work uses various geometric formulas to explore key compositional elements and bring them forward through my use of color and texture. I also use it as an opportunity to expand my abilities through constant experimentation. With influences ranging from Curtis Jeré, Paul Rand, and Renaissance masters I discover the beauty in the evolution of the object, place, and idea. The search for how to find myself is ever-evolving and takes a transcendent journey through color, pattern, and form.
Modern South Collection
The Modern South Collection is a series of graphic illustrations I have been creating since 2012. They stem from my career and studies as a graphic designer, and are inspired by mid century and geometric shapes.
