Jay Hanscom The Vulture, the Loot & the Anvil

Jay Hanscom

I produce work that has a very strong connection to history and in particular a mass marketed and romanticized history. Both pop culture and art historical contexts infiltrate my work. my creative explorations are strongly influenced by passions for, and broad interests in, music and film; much inspirations stems from a weakness for childhood space adventure, classic westerns and film noir. My aim is to interweave these naive influences of masculinity and heroism together with frustrations of a contemporary working class existence.
