New custom painting for couple I met at Webster Art&Air

I have been super busy ever since I exhibited at Webster Art&Air. I met tons of people who want me to do custom paintings for them here in St. Louis. As a St. Louis artist, it is great to see this much passion and demand for local and modern art. I have been doing, sometimes multiple, art consultations every week, and producing a lot of renderings and working with my collectors to produce one-of-a-kind modern art that is perfect for there homes.

Today I want to share with you some renderings I did for a couple here in St. Louis. They wanted a painting to go over their fireplace in their living room.

They wanted a piece that was sized just right and that incorporated some of the colors in the room. I put together these renderings and presented the concepts to them.

But for now, please tell me which one you would have picked and why.

And…if you or someone you know needs help getting a piece of art that is just right for their space, please contact me about doing some custom art!

My commissioned paintings for a bank in downtown Clayton, MO

Commissioned paintings for bank - Andy Hahn Art

A while back, a local interior designer commissioned art from me for one of their projects.

They were completely redecorating the Carrollton Bank in downtown Clayton, MO. They did a great job by the way. As they got closer to the end of the project they needed some contemporary abstract paintings for their conference room that had windows facing the busy street that is famous for hosting the annual St. Louis Art Fair. I made two custom paintings for them that were twins that flanked the sides of the room.

This commissioned painting had to mesh well with their existing design, as well has enhance the small wall space in the conference room. Red was a primary color in their design, so I used that as an anchor color and worked off of it with to produce this modern abstract painting titled “Ochre Scape 77”.

Oversized Commissioned Painting For a Two Story Great Room

I was contacted by a couple a while back, who was looking for a solution for their large two story great room. I see a lot of similar problems like this with larger open floor plan homes. People struggle with managing the scale of the space with their furniture and art. This couple had been in their home for years, but never had a good solution for that room. The room needed custom art that would match its scale, while grounding the living space within the huge 2 story area. My collector also wanted to incorporate their orange color scheme into the art. I consulted with them, worked up some renderings and we agreed on this final look for their modern abstract paintings. The finished diptych is a massive 5 foot by 7 foot, each panel.
