Hello and welcome to my website, my name is Graham Hanks and I’m a figurative artist, writer and musician from the Yorkshire town of Doncaster.
After 3 years at Doncaster Art College I left to become a professional sculptor for many years but since 2008 I’ve been concentrating on developing my skills as a painter. Over the years I’ve also worked as a baker, lab technician, film extra and engineer, but the visual arts has always been the mainstay of my career.
I’m very much inspired my the old masters and try to capture something of their technique in my work but interpreted in a more modern way, with simple compositions and hopefully a more up to date approach to light and colour.
I’ve had paintings selected for juried exhibitions, sent paintings to private collections in Canada and America and I’ve been asked to contribute to articles in the Artists & illustrators magazine.
