Corey Hanssen

Post by kingburdy »

Artist Bio: Corey Hanssen has been making art ever since he can remember(30 plus years) and is mostly self taught with some basic art courses under his belt including drawing, lithography and art history. He started using the stencil medium in 2001 for mixed media works first used with oil, acrylic and enamel based paints and eventually moving to the use of spray paints around 2003.


Based on a painting of the same name painted in 2007, "Steam Room" is his first full stencil only piece and his most ambitious print to date. Utilizing 28 different colors and 19 stencils with some stencils being used for more than one color. Each stencil was carefully hand cut out of large sheets of durable construction paper with many, many hours going into the preplanning of the image before the very first stencil was ever cut so that the registration of each stencil maintained an integrity fulfilling the artist's desired vision of the piece as a whole.


Mr. Hanssen has been using the Oni and child characters in his paintings for some time now integrating them as vehicles to express basic emotions and interactions in relationship to the human condition and coexistence within a multiplicitous world . The Oni itself is borrowed from Japanese mythology and represents for the artist an internal or lower self that deals with or confronts the world in an emotional or base manner. Neither human or full fledged demon, Oni has the propensity to do much good as well as committing mischievous acts towards fellow travelers on the path to self enlightenment. The child character is steeped in a Western psychoanalytical tradition acting as gestalt for a time before the loss of innocence. Together they create a force akin to such comedy duos as Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Tom and Jerry or Seinfeld and Costanza.
