Art Critics

" Hampton continues the impressionist journey with the vigilance of an artist who enjoys the apparent disorder of form and colour "
Peintre et sculpteur du Languedoc

" In Hampton's paintings the light is born from a myriad of tiny flat touches of colour, intense, but never violent and always carefully well-ordered….he approaches the figurative in an abstract manner…it is sturdy work which denotes an artist by a mark, his mark, permitting him to forget his signature "
Midi Libre

" By-passing all the schools, Hampton knows better than anyone how to master curve and light, how to fluidify flowing water,to speak with the clouds and colour "
