| Long known for his
beautiful and sensitive images of women and children, Steve Hanks has
recently begun to delicately explore the evolving role of fathers in
contemporary American society. "When the Fog Rolls In"
is a compelling example of this exciting new dimension in the artist's
work. "The father is often the foundation of the
family," the artist remarks, "but sometimes this seems to go
unnoticed. I think it is time, at least in my art, to give dad his
long overdue recognition. " We are the beneficiaries as Steve
Hanks' body of work continues to expand and delight. The three
paintings illustrated here elegantly demonstrate the artist's intuitive
understanding of both promise and poignancy captured in a moment of our
lives.
