Corey Burnett-Hanssen

In his youth, Corey was introduced to art making by his mother who provided him with
paper and pencil to keep him busy; moments like these allowed him to explore a
rich and flourishing imagination. Many of the things he found interesting during those early
years were the natural world, human ingenuity, games and perusing a collection of Art
publications his parents owned; especially biographies on Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo
Picasso, various Ukiyo-e artists such as Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai; all of whom
had huge impact on how Corey would see and make art in the years to come.
Corey utilizes traditional practices such as drawing, painting, printmaking, and
graphic design. Current interests and passions he enjo include a
love of modern graffiti and skateboarding cultures, manga and anime, computer and video
games, the history of art, and consumerism in the age of social media.
Today, Corey’s paintings include various traditional and nontraditional materials and
resources in an expressive look into the human condition set within a larger
Modernist/Postmodernist ethos, or more simply put...he likes to make stuff about stuff.
