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.

About Erin
ERIN HANSON is the creator of Open Impressionism, a new painting style taught in art schools worldwide. Hanson is one of the most prolific artists in history, with over 3,000 oil paintings sold to eager collectors. 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 and join her in the Open Impressionism movement.
Hanson began painting in oils at 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 climbed, she returned to her love of painting and began creating one new painting every week.
Twenty years later, Hanson now resides in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, surrounded by beautiful wine country. She gathers inspiration for her paintings from the natural landscape around her, photo safaris abroad, and backpacking through National Parks. She seeks the beautiful colors of the golden hour and captures these colors on her canvases. Her painting studio and art gallery is 18,000 square feet (the length of a football field), and is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday.
