Biography

Dr. John Hatch is an Associate Professor of Art History at Western University. His research primarily focuses on the intersections between art and science, specifically during the twentieth century, particularly the work of Francis Bacon. He has published numerous articles that examine the geometry of Greek architecture and its relationship to Keplerian astronomy and religious mysticism, particularly in the works of Baroque architect Francesco Borromini. His early contributions date back to 2002, and he has engaged with themes of wave patterns and modern art, reflecting the influence of figures like František Kupka alongside the adaptation of relativistic theories by major physicists. More recently, Dr. Hatch's work has expanded into studies of astronomy and notable artists including Robert Smithson, Max Ernst, and Anselm Kiefer. He has received grants and awards, including the Faculty of Arts Dean's Travel-Research Grant and SSHRC Explore Grants, underscoring his contributions to the field of Art History through research and teaching.
