Americana Reimagined
Reviving Nostalgia Through Contemporary Art
Hanright’s process is deeply rooted in assemblage, layering historical imagery with paint and resin to create richly textured surfaces. Inspired by his exposure to California Contemporary Art and international influences from his time in Thailand, he incorporates elements of text, abstract forms, and graphic design. The result is a striking balance between bold compositions and nuanced details, inviting viewers to discover hidden connections within each piece.
Pop Culture Meets Fine Art
The Art of Storytelling Through Layers
Every artwork by Hanright tells a story—one that is vibrant, nostalgic, and often infused with humor. He draws inspiration from mid-century periodicals such as Life and The Saturday Evening Post, integrating their iconic visuals into works that challenge and celebrate American identity. His compositions are more than collages; they are curated experiences that reflect the evolving nature of pop culture and personal memory.
"My work is thought provoking, fun, sexy and inspired by experience and visuals found. I present bold imagery with subtleties and simplicity to contradict and poke fun of."
