Noted Connecticut Artist Curt Hanson to Host Exhibition of Southeast...

An ambitious exhibition of contemporary Southeast Asian landscapes was presented by local Connecticut artist Curt Hanson during an opening reception on June 3, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Cornubia Hall, the artist's8217;s studio gallery. The exhibition will remain on view each Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm through July 31, 2006. Appointments to view Hanson'ss unique artistic interpretations can be made by contacting the artist directly.



The Artist:

Hanson is considered one of Connecticut's8217;s premier landscape artists and his unique sense of connection to the natural world allows him to look beyond the literal landscape in focus. This underlying sense of greater understanding and purpose unites his diverse range of work, regardless of subject.



Hanson studied Fine Arts at Fort Wright College in Washington with the likes of Charles Palmer and Stan Taft. He then relocated to the Northeast where he spent three years studying in the Boston atelier of Ives Gammell, who trained under William Paxton.



The Studio:

Cornubia Hall was originally built as a Baptist church in 1844. The buildings classic Greek Revival architecture, historical importance and majestic location in the heart of Cornwall Hollow, make it both an inspiration to the Artist and a perfect gallery to display his work. Cornubia Hall is located at 400 Route 43 in Cornwall, Connecticut.



The Exhibition:

Thai Sojourn-Sacred Landscapes of Southeast Asia

Hanson spent the winter of 2005 in Thailand with the intention of creating a series of paintings that would reveal his experiences in Southeast Asia. This departure from his celebrated landscape reflections of Northwestern Connecticut is a refreshing extension of his exceptional interpretation of the natural world.



The Sojourn Exhibition will unveil more than forty new works of art largely inspired from travels through Esan in Northeastern Thailand. Esan is primarily an economically depressed agricultural area and the exhibited paintings display timeless subjects that would have attracted the Barbizon school painters of 19th century or the great American painter, George Inness.
