A big part of his art is texture, combining materials, color, composition and scale. Combining these elements, he produces acrylic abstract paintings and contemporary metal wall art. In his acrylic paintings, Andy uses texture and color to help express a mood or emotion. He applies texture first to the substrate, because he likes how the texture affects how the color looks and is applied later. He uses additive and subtractive techniques as he paints. He works in thin layers of paint, usually adding color from light to dark.
This way, he can use water drips, a rag, other objects, even his hands to distress or remove the current layer of paint, Andy Hahnrevealing what is below. He finds that this process results in a more unique and interesting piece of art, as it isn’t just what he adds to the art, but what he subtracts along the way that makes the final piece so visually interesting. His metal wall art stems from his affinity for steel. Andy is drawn to the clean, simple and industrial aspect of it. It is so strong, utilitarian, modern and beautiful … yet delicate. Basic environmental conditions can deteriorate it so easily.
Then that decay, in the form of rust, becomes this new life in a way. It transforms into a different yet equally beautiful thing, with colors including bright oranges and reds.
He combines metal with industrial rivets, paint, found objects and various materials to create art that is as unique as the materials used to make it.
