Hello, I'm Aedan H.

Aedan Hanley is an American abstract expressionist and figurative artist whose work explores emotional resilience​,​ human connection​,​ and urban identity. With an academic background in fine arts and a Ph.D. in psychology​,​ Hanley brings a deep sensitivity to the internal landscapes of his subjects. His process integrates layered acrylics​,​ inks​,​ molding pastes​,​ and reclaimed canvases​,​ building textured​,​ hyper-saturated compositions that reflect the complexity of lived experience. Influenced by the bold gestures of mid-century modernists and the raw vibrancy of contemporary urban art​,​ Hanley’s paintings blur the boundaries between abstraction and figuration. His work has been exhibited in galleries across the U.S.​,​ published internationally in journals such as Novum Artis and Art Market International​,​ and recognized by galleries such as Covet Art Gallery and Teravarna Galleries. Hanley currently lives and works in Southern California​,​ drawing inspiration from the dynamic intersection of personal memory​,​ identity​,​ and city life.
