VISIONS Featued Artist Glen Hansen

Influenced by a proud family of carpenters, masons and architects, Hansen has used architecture as the main theme in his art for the past 45 years. His paintings exemplify incredible attention to detail with the human element of his work evident in the craftsmanship of the structures then juxtaposed against the natural element of the sky. Working in themes, Hansen’s choice of subjects is a visceral reaction to discovering a structure and then taking that reaction to creating a painting that reflects that passion. His meticulous technique and keen eye have earned him critical acclaim and numerous exhibitions across the United States and internationally.

Hansen earned a BFA from School of Visual Arts in New York City and was a painting and drawing instructor at his alma mater for 15 years. His paintings have been exhibited in Manhattan at Fischbach Gallery, Helio Galleries, and Bernarducci/Meisel Gallery among others. Hansen’s works are also in prominent public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, Nassau County Museum of Art, Springfield Museum and The Neuberger Museum of Art, as well as many corporate and private collections.
