Robert E. Hansen
Where It All Began
Robert E. Hansen is a Harlem-born, Jersey-raised artist currently based in Los Angeles, California. He studied Graphic Design at the School of Visual Arts in New York before beginning a 16-year career in visual merchandising with brands such as Nordstrom, Macy’s Herald Square, and Hickey Freeman on 5th Avenue. His award-winning work in retail eventually led him into the world of special event production, where he contributed to major projects including NIKE World Basketball, LeBron James’ More Than a Game tour, and celebrity weddings for clients like Usher.
The Journey
Robert’s artistic journey reignited in Los Angeles with the launch of 2 Dudes Doin’ Art and continued with exhibitions at Bentley USA, Audi USA, and the distinction of being the first artist featured during New York City Fashion Week. He was also commissioned by IKEA and the Pan African Film & Arts Festival to re-imagine furniture as creative canvases. His work has been featured on Good Day LA, Scripps News, and The Baltimore Times.

This unique fusion has made him a sought-after collaborator for forward-thinking brands and institutions. From interactive installations to branded AR experiences, Robert E. Hansen’s work pushes creative boundaries and invites viewers into a new dimension of storytelling.
