The Tackle (2024) Printmaking by Hank Wandle

I'm a traditional painter, working mainly in acrylics on canvas and gouache on paper. I paint to celebrate humanity and physicality. I'm fascinated by the human form, by the constant revelations of the body. I celebrate sexuality and sensuality, and as a queer person, I find beauty in the whole spectrum of society.

I have been painting since my schooldays, and took up digital art in my youth, but really took off with paint during the Covid lockdowns, First in acrylics, then later I discovered the joy of gouache and watercolour. With encouragement I began sharing my work online. This has opened doors to a community of artists and I feel I have flourished with their support.  I pose for many of my own pieces, and find inspiration for others from life.
