The Australian artist showcased 20 abstract pieces themed around gardens alongside his distinctive “ArtEnergy” workshops, with part of the proceeds of sales of his art pieces going to charity. The ArtEnergy program was developed by Hogan as a team-building platform with both educational and therapeutic value, and has proven popular with Forbes Global 2000 corporations and hotel groups in Australasia.
“I was driven to abstraction. There were enough artists painting ‘well-behaved’ landscapes and marine images without me adding to the list. Rather, I feel I contribute a contemporary slant through my depiction of these macro images. In essence, I reduce simple images to a series of spots and stripes,” Hogan said.
The resultant compositions are striking paintings and sculptures that invite multiple interpretations. A seasoned artist, acknowledged for mixing contemporary original designs with the realities of the commercial world, Hogan has had his corporate design collections appearing in five star hotels and resorts globally.
