Sneak peak photos of my new art

By Leave a Comment

I have been getting my art ready for the Webster Art&Air show June 5-7. Here are some sneak peaks at some of my new art. My mini panel paintings were very popular at my last show, so here are some photos showing my progress with them.

Here you can see me applying one of the first layers of red paint over the texture I had originally applied.

As I apply each layer, the depth of color and texture really starts to come out.

And here is what they look like when hung in your home or office.

What do you think of the finished product? I will be selling these at Webster Art&Air for $95 each, they are nice to combine and mix and match in any configuration on your wall. You can also buy some now in my Etsy store.

How would you display them? Vertically, horizontally, in a bundle of 4 or 6?

How-to-guide for purchasing art online.

How to guide for purchasing art online - Andy Hahn

Buying art online can be a very positive experience. Art can enrich your life and improve your feeling of self-worth. It is great for inspiring children and young adults.

Buying art online has some great advantages too, like increasing the volume of art to choose from as well as finding some really affordable options since you can often buy directly from an artist. Buyers just have to keep a few things in mind to make sure they get something they will really love when the package arrives.

When you buy art online, make sure the artist or website has good photos of the art. There should be at least a photo showing the whole piece as well as a detail or alternate shot so that you can see as much of the details of the piece as possible. Ideally, there would also be a photo of it in a room or setting to show scale along with photos of the sides or edges or anything else that is unique or important for the buyer to see. Seeing art in person is always best, but good photography has really bridged the gap for online purchasing of art…

By Leave a Comment

Due to popular demand, I have added multi panel paintings to my Etsy store. Now you can mix and match pieces to make any combination or arrangement you want. These were so popular last fall when I exhibited at the Shaw Art Fair, that I sold out of them.

Behind the Scenes: Exhibiting at the Historic Shaw Art Fair – Part 3

By Leave a Comment

After the weekend at the art fair, I had some deliveries of larger paintings that I had sold that needed to be made. I figured I might as well personally deliver the larger pieces and since everyone was local, it made it pretty easy. Plus, I always like to do a little extra for my collectors when I can.

Here are some shots of the installation I did at one of my collector’s homes in West St. Louis County. The pieces look really nice in his home, they compliment his décor and add that wow factor.

Behind the Scenes: Exhibiting at the Historic Shaw Art Fair – Part 2

By Leave a Comment

I had a blast all weekend, meeting so many new people, showing my art, catching up with long-time collectors and sharing stories with fellow artists. My booth came out as planned and the weather could not have been better, especially Sunday.

Saturday night, there was a reception and awards ceremony for the exhibiting artists. It was great to spend some time with other artists. Especially because I was able to catch up with my aunt that I haven’t see in forever. She is a very successful artist who does abstract architectural paintings. Here is a photo of me and my aunt Ginny Herzog.

By the end of the show, my booth started looking pretty picked over, I sold almost half of my modern abstract paintings, so I was very happy with the turnout at the art fair. I met so many great people and made some connections that I am sure will help me in the future.

Abstract Painting ‘Corruption’ Explaination

By Leave a Comment

Corruption by Andy Hahn - Abstract Painting

‘Corruption’ is one of my newer modern abstract paintings. It takes a stab at visually articulating the concept of corruption and the downfall of society because of it.

You might notice the strong vertical and horizontal lines in this piece. It suggests an architectural subject. I wanted to combine that with some distinct texture that gave it some additional industrial cues. The dark burgundy color palette is bold and attention getting, which was intentional, as I wanted a strong visually impactful piece.

We all experience corruption in different facets of life. It is often portrayed on the evening news and in social media. You can’t miss hearing about it or at least the speculation of it. In this painting, I am showing the destructive remnants of a corrupt society. The architectural elements seem to have decayed in this abstract painting. Read more and watch a video interview here.

The detail shots really show the texture and depth of the elements.
