At just 18 years old, Tex Hammond is already deeply embedded in the art world, a feat that speaks to his artistic prowess, incredible work ethic, and inherent talent. Born Jefferson Texas Hammond on January 31, 2007, in Los Angeles, California, he began painting at a very early age. From those first forays into art, his love and understanding of the medium were apparent, foreshadowing a long and varied career. Little did his family and friends know that he would be embarking on a successful career starting in his early teens. Inspired by various media including graffiti, video games, music, and abstract art, Hammond deftly incorporates the pop culture interests synonymous with youth into each of his pieces. Through abstract techniques and unconventional surfaces, he is taking a definitive step toward modernizing classic genres while simultaneously giving “trash” a second, eco-conscious life and beauty.
