Equal parts sculptor, gallery owner and philosopher, Scott Hanson is a unique figure in the field of contemporary art. An American iconographer of inspiring vision, Hanson combines tromp l’oiel realism with incisive cultural commentary.

His work crystallizes the symbols of our society and compels us to take a second look at his art and our world. The power of his work lies not only in his superb craftsmanship but also the clarity reflected in his selection of the icons that define our age. His work vividly demonstrates a desire to preserve as well as critique the images represented. His expressive icons have included a bomber jacket, an old weathered mail pouch, U. S. currency and the vibrantly colored license plates that proclaim statehood from coast to coast.

His twenty-year immersion in the art world and observation empower his work with honesty and insight. It induces us to examine our values and perceptions and challenges our ideas about influence and power.

Hanson’s work is a treasured part of museum and corporate collections in the United States and Europe.
