Hannah Luxton
Hannah Luxton's works are inspired by philosophies such as Romanticism and animism, which intimates a living soul in natural phenomena. As such, she explores ways to depict a spiritual power at the heart of the material universe; nature imbued with a divine power. With pared down mark making to communicate the essence of the building blocks of the natural world, Luxton hints at a spiritual dimension beyond appearance. She finds her subjects in her observations of the sublime in landscape – from oceans and waterfalls, to mountains and craters, to the moon and stars – condensing and abstracting each referent into an archetypal version of itself. Hannah Luxton studied her Masters at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL (2010-12). In 2022 she was elected into the prestigious art collective, The London Group (est. 1913). Her work has received support and recognition from The Arts Council England (2024, 2020, 2018), The Young Masters Art Prize (2023), Betty Malcolm Scholarship, UCL (2012). Exhibitions include Wightman Gallery (2024), Velarde Gallery (2024); Benjamin Parsons x Hannah Payne (2023); Herman Miller, London (solo, 2023, 2022); The Royal Academy (2022, 2021); Brompton Cemetery Chapel (solo, 2021). International appearances include Midnight Gallery, LA USA (2018); Galleria M, Kolkata, India (2015) and the Fljotstunga Travel Farm, Iceland (2015). Her works are held in private collections internationally including the Tinie & De Hann collection.
