Steve
Hanks, (1948-) ranked among America's top
artists by U.S. ART, paints lyrical, realistic
incarnations of women and children. His soft,
flowing watercolors reflect a mastery of form
and intricate involvement with light. They evoke
emotion and inspiration and challenge the viewer
to become involved in the scene. Steve Hanks,
although a relatively new artist, has already
become widely recognized in the art world.
Few
artists can duplicate the emotional depth Steve
Hanks achieves in his spectacular watercolors.
Each painting is meticulously drawn with great
attention to detail, reflecting a moment in time,
often a token of the artist's memory. The viewers
reward is a grand interconnectedness with the
artist's favorite moments, all familiar to our
own experiences as well.
Steve Hanks is a relatively new artist, but it's
taken him only a handful of years to make a name
for himself in the art world. This artist paints
lithograph portraits of beautiful people in beautiful
settings. The beautiful people are often members
of his own family. Hanks chooses subjects that
inspire a sense of the freshness of life and the
beauty of moments to be seized. He chooses real
subjects, rather than invented ones and his pictures
include a lot of subtle details that give them
life. The pictures shown here are fine examples.
