[1] After study with Willson Young Stamper (1912–1988) at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Han moved to New York City and studied at the Art Students League of New York with Frank Mason (born 1921) and Robert Beverly Hale (1901–1985).
He was best known for his still lifes in the photorealism genre, but also incorporated the human figure as well as abstraction into his compositions.
He is best known for his carefully composed floral and object still life paintings, but he also introduced figurative elements into his compositions, as well as working with a series of abstractions.
His subjects are rendered with a sensitivity to detail and palette in combination with precise delineation of objects and spatial relationships, evoking a mood of calm that permeates his entire body of work, whether it be a figurative or abstract piece.
