Hans Viets
b. 1977 is an American artist/musician with art studios in Brooklyn, New York and Rhode Island. He studied Fine Art at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and Mechanical Engineering at Fachhochschule Luebeck and MSOE University. He currently divides his time living with his family in Brooklyn and Rhode Island.
Hans Viets primarily creates paintings using acrylic and sometimes oil paint on canvas or wooden panels. These artworks emerge intuitively by applying many layers over time. The imagery: whether realistic or abstract, reflects an openness and eagerness to experiment, discover and learn while painting. Their goal is to balance playful openness with direct, clear visual information in order to navigate subconscious ideas with paint.
