Abstract Painting ‘Corruption’ Explaination

Corruption by Andy Hahn - Abstract Painting

‘Corruption’ is one of my newer modern abstract paintings. It takes a stab at visually articulating the concept of corruption and the downfall of society because of it.

You might notice the strong vertical and horizontal lines in this piece. It suggests an architectural subject. I wanted to combine that with some distinct texture that gave it some additional industrial cues. The dark burgundy color palette is bold and attention getting, which was intentional, as I wanted a strong visually impactful piece.

We all experience corruption in different facets of life. It is often portrayed on the evening news and in social media. You can’t miss hearing about it or at least the speculation of it. In this painting, I am showing the destructive remnants of a corrupt society. The architectural elements seem to have decayed in this abstract painting. Read more and watch a video interview here.

The detail shots really show the texture and depth of the elements.

Oversized Commissioned Painting For a Two Story Great Room

I was contacted by a couple a while back, who was looking for a solution for their large two story great room. I see a lot of similar problems like this with larger open floor plan homes. People struggle with managing the scale of the space with their furniture and art. This couple had been in their home for years, but never had a good solution for that room. The room needed custom art that would match its scale, while grounding the living space within the huge 2 story area. My collector also wanted to incorporate their orange color scheme into the art. I consulted with them, worked up some renderings and we agreed on this final look for their modern abstract paintings. The finished diptych is a massive 5 foot by 7 foot, each panel.
