Originally from Iowa, Rex Hicks moved to Quincy where he has just started delving into the art scene. After some design work experience, he decided to take a stab at painting. With very little knowledge of how to paint in any traditional styling, Rex thought the best thing to try on was a printed out photograph. The result is unexpected: through creative lighting, unexpected color combinations and an obvious comfort with experimentation, Rex combines physical and digital mediums to exude expression of his sometimes brooding, always thoughtful themes.
