A Study in Orange: The Orange Collection by Erin Hanson

Erin Hanson's Orange Collection

Friday, September 16, 2016


ORANGE: the vibrant color which reflects joyous, bountiful energy. This color holds a peculiar fascination both for its many psychological effects and the challenge of utilizing it in modern impressionism. Erin Hanson has given herself the challenge of creating unique impressionist paintings with orange as the predominant color. From orange rock deserts to flaming sunsets to tangerine flowers, The Orange Show captures the creativity, determination, adventure, and fascination this unique color represents.

Hanson’s collection is not the first of its type. Picasso famously themed his works by color in selections culminating in his blue and rose periods. The Orange Collection takes inspiration from this, color field, and color theory. Hanson utilizes orange combinations in each painting to develop the warmth of orange and bring a dynamic feel to each and every painting. There are both still life paintings as well as landscapes included in the collection, the oranges in each painting meticulously placed to impart depth and texture to the overall communication. The subject of each painting is dynamically and vibrantly brought to life with each deliberate stroke of Hanson’s brush.

Some paintings are thoroughly infused with shades of orange, running the spectrum from deep gold to fiery orange. Other paintings feature just a splash of orange, creating a depth that would be unattainable with another color.

Several of Hanson’s paintings celebrate orange and juxtapose the heat of this color with cool azure or graphite. With Hanson’s expert brushstrokes and her hand-mixed colors, every viewer at the Orange Show will have their senses titillated by this incredible collection. Join us at The Erin Hanson Gallery from October 1st through 28th to witness this unique compilation of orange modern impressionism.

About Erin

ERIN HANSON has been painting in oils since she was 8 years old. As a teenager, she apprenticed at a mural studio where she worked on 40-foot-long paintings while selling art commissions on the side. After being told it was too hard to make a living as an artist, she got her degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. Afterward, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she was climbing, she decided to return to her love of painting and create one new painting every week.

She has stuck to that decision, becoming one of the most prolific artists in history, with over 3,000 oil paintings sold to eager collectors. Erin Hanson’s style is known as "Open Impressionism" and is taught in art schools worldwide. With millions of followers, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of impressionism, inspiring thousands of other artists to pick up the brush.
