Hans Petersen is an international artist. Danish born, Hans was educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. There he was inspired by the CoBrA movement, especially Danish artist Asgar Jorn. To this day his work draws on this movement’s basic principles that inject color and excitement into his work. Hans began his professional life as a graphic designer, moving to New York City in 1976 to become a principal and creative director for a successful design firm. He relocated to Charlotte, NC in 1991, where his innovative graphic design style distinguished the world renowned International Home Furnishing Center’s promotional material for over 15 years. |

In 2005 Hans directed his creative energy to life as a full time painter. Currently, he resides with his wife Barbara in SC where he paints prolifically in his lake side studio.
Artist Statement: “Painting with impact brings me pleasure. I strive to infuse distinctive color, energy and character into my work to achieve excitement for myself and for others. If it goes unnoticed, it simply wasn’t worth (while) painting. Painting allows me to explore something different each time I address a new canvas as well as relating to what I have done before.”
