Seahawks fever has spread into every facet of Seattle culture, including the arts. We recently came across a series of paintings by Seattle-area artist Aaron Hazel, and wanted to share his Seahawks pieces with seattlepi.com readers.

Hazel, 29, is a full-time artist and lifelong Seahawks fan from Boise, Idaho, who now lives in Kirkland. Over the past year, he has completed more than two-dozen paintings depicting this past Super Bowl season.

“I wanted to interpret my love of sports onto canvas,” Hazel told seattlepi.com. “I like to evoke a sense of energy and athleticism into my paintings, with loose and varied brush strokes. Plus I believe there is a direct correlation between athletics and art, and my pieces seek to address that.”

Many of the 2013 Seahawks themselves — Golden Tate, Kam Chancellor, Breno Giacomini, B.J. Daniels and Ricardo Lockette — have purchased Hazel’s paintings. On Thursday, Hazel said, Richard Sherman contacted him about a piece Hazel recently completed.

“It has been a pleasure seeing the Hawks flourish,” Hazel said, “and the fact that many of them put their trust in me to do paintings made it all the more personal and special for me.”

You can check out a selection of his paintings in the gallery above. Many of them have already been sold, but you can check them all out on Hazel’s Facebook page, where you can also get in contact with him to purchase a piece. He is still producing Seahawks work, so keep an eye on Facebook if you’re really interested.
