Simon Hannan

Painting provides me with so many choices of style and subject matter, yet I am always drawn back to one genre. For me mastering the painting of the female human body has always been the truest artistic skill and my vehicle for a wide range of expression.

Unlike painting a clothed figure, a nude subject requires a perfect mastery of painting the skin tone, a good knowledge of the skeletal and muscle structure, proportionate alignment of various parts of the body along with alignment of the body to the surroundings and other characters. Personally, I delight in the female curve while exploring the bridge between the artistic and the erotic.
