A bold and dynamic composition by Stephen Buckley, *Hawk* employs acrylic paint applied to canvas mounted on plywood, a support structure that reflects the artist's characteristic interest in pushing the boundaries of traditional painting. The work's layered surfaces and angular forms suggest both tension and movement, evoking the predatory alertness of its namesake. Buckley's unconventional approach to materials and construction challenges the conventions of the painted surface, blurring the line between painting and object.
