VANDORN HINNANT

Vandorn Hinnant grew up in the Old Asheboro neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina. He received a Bachelor of Art’s degree from North Carolina A&T University and studied visual arts at A&T State University and UNC -Greensboro. Many of Hinnant’s works explore mandalas; a visual spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism representing wholeness in the universe. He uses circles, lines, angles, polyhedrons, and color to explore mandalas in his drawings, paintings and sculpture which are often installed together.

In 1988, Vandorn exhibited work at Duke University’s Institute for the Arts based on the 13th century Fibonacci numbers and Lucas Pacioli’s treatise. He began studying Sacred Geometry formally in 1989 with inventor and physicist Robert L. Powell, Sr. Since the late 1980’s he introduced fractal mathematics, the Golden Ratio, the Logarithmic Spiral, Sacred Geometry and most currently STEAM concepts into his work to explore metaphysical ideas. The ancient architectures in Egypt, India, Rome and Greece that use these concepts were original influences for him to unpack “pre-material templates of energies,” he states. Hinnant has also referenced Buckminster Fuller, Leonardo da Vinci, and M.C. Escher as inspirations because of their use of geometry and math in their work. Part of his objective is to catalyze dialogues through and around his work connecting these concepts to human relationships and encouraging education around the golden proportion.

Hinnant’s work is in public collections at the SAS Institute, the Atlanta International Airport, Fayetteville State University, The City of Winston-Salem, Wachovia Bank, Capital Broadcasting Company in Raleigh, NationsBank in Charlotte, Miller Brewing Company, North Carolina Central University Art Museum, Kalamazoo Institute for the Arts, Duke University Medical Center, Phizer Pharmaceuticals, Brandywine Workshop Collection, the Cumberland County Public Library, and The Greensboro GreenWay Project among many other locations across the United States.
