Studio Sale | Hannah Thomas 2024

Hannah Thomas' work is characterised by bold blocks of colour, creating fractured and interlocking landscapes occupied with biomorphic forms with a dash of the absurd and macabre. 

Hannah's paintings are a celebration of the ‘other’, often populated by motifs that reference the figurative or biological, indicating the presence of a creature or life form representing the savage, the mischievous, the outsider, the disturber of the status quo and existing outside of the social and political culture. In her fictional landscapes that presence is a focal point, holding court and highlighting the absurdity and chaos that underpins life and is the focus of her practice.

Her work references a wide mix of visual cues, from street art to H R Giger and Francis Bacon and her style is an instinctive and spontaneous combination of elements and motifs that all work towards creating a unique visual experience.
