William Hanson's photostream

I'm a Midwestern artist working with found objects, acrylic, alkyd, and oil on canvas. I enjoy Lee Krasner, Franz Kline ,
Egon Schiele, almost all of the Post WWII German artist
movement into abstract and experimental art. Lately (2010)
I've been wanting to build a ( Painting/device) that will output totally random blinks of light that are drawn for what some scientists claim to be the only true random source in the Universe , back-round radiation.
More on this as it goes.

My bio statement as written by me. 2007

The most accurate explanation of my work will never be in words you can read. My best definition will be your first gut reaction upon contact with each piece. The works are a unique destination of color, gestures, and textures. It is for individual viewers to digest and prognosticate within their own field of personal experience.

I will shift into the realm of how rather than "why?", It it based on my own personal quotation. "Life is a flaccid anvil - the only strength mankind demonstrates today,is weakness." Original inspirational elements are composed of strong and weak forces. The concept expands by finding strength within something estimated to be weak and vice-versa.

Technique is not simply a choice of overall composition and execution. It is the ability to create an intangible vehicle from a gestalt of macrocosmic intuition rectified into a microcosmic point of inspiration. Each vehicle is used once for a specific piece of art- ignited and taken to that place. A destination that before the first stroke of paint , was a stillpoint between all that never was and all that will be.
I travel a natural, intuitive road of balance and arrive at a final cohesive image. I am receptive to fragments of the greater whole. At a similar level of energy - active enough to tie all these directions together forming a map of premeditated and subconscious actions fused into one work.
