‘I paint to create a place of freedom in which images and ideas can coexist and collide—strange, off-kilter portals and landscapes that envelop and overwhelm the viewer.’

Hannah Thomas (b.1973, Reading, UK) is a painter currently based in Wiltshire whose bold paintings seduce and overwhelm the viewer with evocative shapes and motifs emerging from colourful, fractured landscapes. 

My painting is about mystery, mood and the evocation of a metaphorical landscape that speaks of the horror and wonder of nature and human nature.

 I use a process of application and removal to create rich background layers, working instinctively with no preparation, the work shifts and morphs in the studio, gradually accumulating a sense of agency.  Additional shapes and motifs are added to filter in my own themes of absurdity and anxiety in my own particular language, drawing from the predation and relentless activity found in the natural world and its processes. 

 The aim is to unsettle and provoke a visceral response in the viewer, whilst for myself it is a cathartic process allowing me to grapple with things I find unpalatable or hard to reconcile about the human condition.

I am going to highlight an older painting from my archive regularly as I really feel a few should be given the spotlight again. This is Mental Freeze. It was a finalist in an open call in Chichester at Oxmarket Contemporary gallery back in 2022.
Work in progress…..coming along nicely. Few more days to wrestle with a slightly problematic section should see it finished. . No title as yet but it is a really exciting piece, lots of new leads to work on that I will likely start exploring
Featured Artist in Issue #17 of Curatory Magazine. . So nice to see my work in print always, especially at this odd in between point whilst I am without a proper studio and before starting my MA. Not much work in progress to share, so it is lovely
