Hannah Hamilton is an American abstract painter living and working in Paris. Her practice begins with an intuitive sense of a painting's identity, which she develops through successive layers of mark-making and color until the work takes on a distinct character of its own.
The titles are plucked right out of life: Love Bombed, Cigarette Money, Foreign Tongue, Devil’s Sister. “They are the moment you realize the painting already knew you were coming,” she says. The results are funny and a little irreverent, with something quieter underneath.
Hamilton earned her BFA from Wheaton College in 2015. Her paintings have appeared in Vogue Arabia and been shown in New York, and she is now at work on a series called In Defense of the Fool.
