Reflection of the Art, Mind, and Soul of Matthew Haan

Some may call it an acquired talent, others are born noticeably gifted; but for Matthew Haan the passion of art started as early as a child. From Grade school on up to his high school days at Thomas Jefferson, Matthew found it imperative to incorporate Art (in all it's form) in every curriculum he took. However the true passion and talent of his ability didn't shine as bright until he picked up a paint brush three years ago. Rooted in Hip-Hop, and having other music/film idols dating back to the fifties one finds it natural to be able to relate to one of Matthew's influential masterpieces. Eye catching, sharp and always inventive the canvases produced by Matthew set him apart from just any artist. By using just the bare aspects of acrylic paint, Haan is able to create more than a painting. More than just a sketch filled in with color it's a combination of the inspirational artists whose work he admires, the never ending ideas and concepts that flow from his imagination, and the determination and will that comes from within.
Thus describing every piece Matthew Haan produces: Reflection of his art, mind and soul.
