American multidisciplinary visual artist Hannah Witner holds a BFA from Parsons School for Design. Originally from Charlotte, NC, she is currently based in Brooklyn, NY.

 

Her work spans from colorful, surrealist, and psychological oil paintings, airbrush paintings that draw from digital techniques, whimsical graphite drawings, tufted tapestries, sculptural furniture, printmaking, and anything else that seems fun.

 

At the heart of her work lies a passion for uncovering the hidden potential of materials, psychological processes, and the human condition, which she undertakes in a spirit of curiosity and experimentation. Her work combines touches of realism with meta-fiction and comedy and reflects our disorder, femininity, dissociation, detachment, individualism, transience, pop culture, and weird minutia of morphing characters, figures in motion, and layers of absurdity. The essence of otherness, love, affection, biomorphisms, and the trajectories of class divide, gender inequality, and reliance on technology are also prevalent themes. She enjoys exploring the living mind as an inner tangled web of memories, fears, desires, and aspirations, constantly shifting and evolving like a living organism.

 

Hannah has participated in residencies in Switzerland, Hungary, Serbia, France, Portugal, Iceland, and the US.

She works as a graphic designer and art director in NYC.
