Adam Hanson

Adam Hanson is a Painter and Draftsman who resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is currently studying at the University of New Mexico with an intent on a BFA.

Adam mainly focuses on painting and drawing in an idiosyncratic style. He will often mix mediums in his work, using Acrylics, colored pencil, Ink Media, and graphite to give a greater range of texture and contrast to the pieces. His subject matter pulls from cartoons, religious imagery/symbolism, and folklore to give a voice to his syncretic understanding of the world. Questions about the individual in relation to the human, natural and supernatural worlds are addressed, with an aim to unite the childish and spontaneous with ancient, deeply charged symbols.
