Phil Hansen's art is amazing and instigating. He knows how to argument the current social and political moment in his art. Hansen is also doing one of the recent trends in the art world, document his art making in a performance video and post it in Youtube. I have compiled his great videos here along with some interviews to Axioms and CNN.
"He now works as an X-ray technician but spends all of his spare time and money on his art. His work and the way it is presented has given him a large following.
His breakthrough piece was a time-lapse video of a two-day project called Influences. He painted thirty pictures on his torso, one over the other, each picture representing an influence in his life. After it was completed, he peeled the layer off and cut a silhouette of his own profile. The uploaded video was streamed more than a million times on the Web, with process and final piece clearly revealed"
