The New Reality of Abstract Art in SoHo

Abstract art can take many forms. Nowhere is that more evident than in our latest exhibition featuring two artists putting their own twist on abstract art. Steven D’Hanson puts an abstract spin on photo realism to elevate it to a whole new level. Chloe Victoria Mills takes colorful geometric shapes and builds beautiful portraits, landscapes and iconic images with them. Two artists. One stunning exhibition. Now through November 6, is your chance to contrast and compare their two styles at Park West Gallery in SoHo, NYC.
Both artists started at an early age in humble beginnings. Born in South Dakota, D’Hanson’s artistic talent stood out from birth and his parents always supported it, as his father was an artist himself. D’Hanson’s first recognition was when the local paper featured his 4th grade painting he did of Abraham Lincoln. In high school, he won a contest through the Famous Artist School and Norman Rockwell showed his winning work on the Johnny Carson Show. Now his abstract art infuses the energy of color, shape and balance into each painting. The flowers he creates feel like macro photography depicting their inherent beauty and the etheric energy that swirls around them in nature.
Mills grew up in the UK countryside where, as she puts it, “there was nothing but fields of sheep.” She began painting around age four, learning from her grandmother. Mills studied art in high school but failed. She left school and took a retail job, then later sold insurance. Moving to London after the pandemic changed everything. Mills decided to make painting her full-time job. She fell in love with the landscapes, landmarks and romantic scenes she saw around her and turned them into colorful abstracts, building the images out of geometrical shapes that coalesce into a fluid mosaic feel that is both fresh and beautiful.
Park West Gallery invites you to experience two artists putting their own abstract spin on reality. Each artist shares images you’ll recognize, as seen through their own unique vision of reality. It’s art you want to spend time with and maybe even take home. Now through November 6, at the SoHo Gallery in New York City.
