Patrick Andrew Hanson
Born in Stuttgart Germany, Patrick is the child of a U.S. military father and a German mother. He studied Fine Art at Auburn University graduating in 2000 with a concentration on sculpture. During his four years in the Fine Arts School, he won several Annual Art exhibition competitions, including two "Best In Show" Awards. . With sculpture being a integral part of his early exploration in school, it is easy to see its influence in his paintings. The work often has sculptural elements through the use of mixed media, space, and heavy texture. The focus in most of his work deals with form, function, human form/connection, and composition. His expressive use of color, movement and texture give life to an often sterile medium.
