MICHAEL HANSEN: PLAYLIST

Opening Friday, June 30, 6-8 pm, continuing to August.

Playlist is a series of smaller works that remix sound into visual works and deconstruct abstract painting. These paintings are based on Classic Rock, as it known as today, was the music of my teenage years. No matter how much I want to ignore it, rock music is a large part of me. As I listen to nostalgia of my past, I can’t escape seeing it in colour shape and gesture. It generates strong feeling with in me from good times and the bad, love found and lost and parties that never seem to end.
