ABOUT
Hannah Hamilton is an American painter based in Paris. Trained with a BFA and shaped by years working in corporate America, she returned to painting.
Her intuitive process layers color and texture to evoke something meditative and open: a faith in outcomes that haven't taken shape yet. Underneath that, there's humor and irreverence. Hamilton thinks of her paintings as personalities in their own right: each one is someone she shares an inside joke with, a private observation about the world that is entirely hers and, once on the wall, entirely yours.
Influenced by Cy Twombly's belief that a mark can carry an entire emotional world, and Cecily Brown's refusal to be tidy, Hamilton's paintings sit somewhere between confession and punchline.
