Style and Subject Matter
The focus of Hasenauer's artistic practice is the portrait and the figure. Rather than traditional likenesses, his work explores the idea of a portrait, often depicting human figures against monochrome backgrounds of white or dark tones. These figures frequently appear androgynous and seem to float in space, possessing an "over-real" quality. His compositions may also include landscapes, as well as imagery consisting of dates and lettering. In his technique, he applies color like a thin film over a finely textured ground. His subjects often present a melancholic and expectant demeanor, appearing as if they are dissolving into the vague spheres of memory.
