Charlie Hanavich Painting (donated by Charlie Hanavich and Stanley Korshak)
Charlie Hanavich is a self-taught artist from Atlanta, Georgia. Influenced greatly by his four-year residency in Miami, Florida, much of Charlie’s artistic output has been generated in absence of any formal art training. Charlie states that through his process “new insights, lines, and personalities evolve leaving a greater appreciation for each subject.” Created using Hanavich’s signature “Grid Technique,” “Portrait of Anna Wintour“ is of the English editor-in-chief of American Vogue. Her face is made up of squares, where Hanavich composes and decomposes colors, lights and shadows, innovating and renewing a traditional painting technique in an unexpected way.
Includes: “Portrait of Anna Wintour,” 2015. Acrylic on canvas. 48 inches by 48 inches
