Julian Burroughs Hatton III is an American landscape abstract artist from New York City.

[11] Hatton's abstract landscapes have also been compared to paintings by Arthur Dove and Georgia O'Keeffe because of his "unbridled love of pure, hot color".

[1] He has exhibited his artwork in Washington, Atlanta, San Francisco, Dallas, Charlotte, La Jolla, and Southwest Harbor and Belfast in Maine.

"[3] During these years he taught at the Rhode Island School of Design as well as Swarthmore College and the Vermont Studio Center.

[17] His paintings have appeared in the Hijirizaka Collection in Tokyo, the IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust in New York, and at Brook Partners in Dallas.

[citation needed] New York Times critics have described his painting style as "layered shapes in saturated colors",[18] which were "vibrant, playful, semi-abstract landscapes" and "layers broad, richly colored shapes of trees, rivers and hills into funky, tautly frontal arcadian visions.

"[20] Critic Joel Silverstein in Reviewny.com suggested Hatton's paintings "sing to each other in a high key citron-like color" and compared him to Paul Gauguin, Miró and Hofmann.

"[22] Critic Peter Malone of Hyperallergic magazine described Hatton's 2019 show entitled Bewilderness as "vigorously overlapping perspectives are pulled into a unified whole made of delightfully unstable parts" that demonstrate a "copious gift for invention, expressed through witty references to flowers, trees, rivers, pathways, and other landscape elements.
