SUMMARY:Hardy Hanson: IN THE SPRING
DESCRIPTION:Hardy Hanson: IN THE SPRING\nOpening reception: January 23\, 5-7 p.m.\nOn view through March 31\, 2026\, at Michelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery + Studio \nHardy Hanson worked passionately and prolifically for 55 years\, painting\, sculpting\, printmaking\, and teaching art\, often simultaneously. He found a positive synergism working on all at once\, and many pieces took several years to complete. This “grasshopper” approach allowed for one medium to influence another\, resolving artistic dilemmas. \nDuring the 1970s\, Hanson focused primarily on creating detailed sculptural works using repeated\, unorthodox materials. Small yet powerful\, these sculptures produce simultaneous feelings of fascination and aversion\, an uneasy tension. Hardy said he chose “micro elements to address macro themes\,” manipulating order to reveal the underlying chaos and darker side of human nature. \nHis sly titles were intellectual keys to engaging and expanding viewers’ perceptions. Towards the end of his life\, Hardy explored more existential questions\, shifting his focus from the world around him to the world within. His lifelong interest in the interactions of painted fragments culminated in this series of beautiful paintings. \nDense drifts of pointillist dots create illusory volumes of light and space\, a visual ebb and flow\, expressing the mysterious connection we have with our infinite cosmos. He titled these paintings his “Meditations” series. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: HARDY HANSON\nFebruary 16\, 1935–January 25\, 2012 \nHardy Hanson was born and raised in Long Beach\, California\, and was educated at Long Beach City College\, University of California\, Los Angeles\, and Yale University\, where he studied under Josef Albers. He went on to teach at San Fernando Valley Junior College\, California State University\, Northridge\, UCLA\, University of Southern California\, and finally\, as Professor of Art Emeritus at Porter College\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\, for 29 years. He was a core member of the UCSC Art Department. \nWhen not in his studio\, Hanson’s artistic expression took its most powerful and enduring form in the four-acre terraced garden surrounding the home he and his wife\, Ruth\, built in Santa Cruz in 1971. He sculpted the hillsides with re-purposed broken concrete\, creating terraced orchards\, vegetable and rose gardens\, no less intricate than his meticulous art. The daily rhythms of nature suited his artistic habits. \nHanson’s work is included in the following permanent collections: \nColorado Springs Fine Art Center\nCrocker Art Museum\, Sacramento\nFresno Art Museum\nHirshhorn Museum\, Washington\, D.C.\nLong Beach Museum of Art\nLos Angeles County Museum of Art\nPalm Springs Desert Museum\, California\nThe Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\nMilwaukee Art Center\nNational Gallery of Australia\nSanta Barbara Museum of Art\nSan Diego Museum of Art \nCalendar – Bernal Heights and Beyond\nDISTANT EXISTENCE: Paintings by Samuel Kampelman Exhibition\nInclusions Gallery: Dreams in the City – Beata Kaczmarek\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas
