Phil Hansen's Art

"An art school dropout, Phil Hansen works as an X-ray technician by day, spending all of his spare time and money on his art...His breakthrough piece was a time-lapse video of a two-day project called Influences. He painted 30 pictures on his own chest, one over the other, with each picture representing an influence in his life...Hansen often uses the technique of pointillism, in which the canvas is dabbed with tiny bits of color, rather than fluid brush strokes, to create a larger image. But he gives pointillism a modern twist. You might call it "kinetic fragmentism" — pointillism in motion." -- People of the Web
