Wisconsin artist, Doug Hatch is best known for his realistic paintings of urban and rural scenes. Working in his studio from photographs, Hatch employs traditional methods of photorealism using strong diagonals, reflected surfaces, and transparent components to elucidate vibrant street scenes. Influenced by Edward Hopper and Richard Estes, Hatch is particularly interested in interpreting daily life. Vibrant, detail-oriented and filled with movement, the paintings of Doug Hatch deftly capture a specific place and time of day. In addition to these urban scenes, Hatch paints plein air landscapes of rural Wisconsin with deep vistas and spatial infinities.

The Tory Folliard Gallery has represented the artist since 2012.
