Eric Hansen is a Dallas fine artist who spends every Friday before the fair live painting the icon as he is lifted into the air. He focuses on the strokes of his brush to make Big Tex appear as friendly on canvas as he does in real life.
Big Tex finally arrived in Fair Park on Friday, bringing a flurry of people who gathered to watch. Eric Hansen is a Dallas fine artist who spends every Friday before the fair live painting the icon as he is lifted into the air.
"I want them to see a liveliness that's there," Hansen said."He's not a real person, but he has a personality that people assign to him, plus his voice and all that. But about five years ago, he wandered out to Fair Park on the same day as Big Tex's set up, just to observe. Now, his Big Tex artwork is a tradition. You'll notice he always uses the same 11 colors. It's a staple in his work, as are bold figures.
