Beautiful framed painting of "Franklin on the Square" by Chuck McHan

Chuck McHan was well-known for his unique style of work that could be found around Nashville in the late 20th century. McHan was born in Arkansas in 1942. He played football at the University of Arkansas until he transferred to the Ringling College of Art and Design in Florida. He eventually moved to Nashville and established an art studio. McHan's distinctive body of work achieves an unusual dichotomy between contemporary and traditional styles. His color selections were bold and his paintings were characterized by a bright, playful "confetti" technique. For McHan, subject was of the most importance. He chose traditional, often nostalgic themes and developed them with a fresh modern perspective. Throughout his career, McHan vibrantly captured the Southern cultural scene. His paintings depicting sporting events, music clubs & concerts, and significant Tennessee landmarks are among the most treasured of his memorable body of work. He celebrated the city of Nashville with familiar scenes of leisurely days at Centennial Park, a symphony at Carnton Mansion, a friendly gathering in Belle Meade, the Historic Franklin Monument, and the buzz of excitement at Iroquois Steeplechase.
