Hannah Brown : Before Long

25 May-29 Jun 2019

Overview

Union Gallery is pleased to present Before Long, a new body of work by artist Hannah Brown, curated by William Gustafsson. Hannah Brown’s work delves into the psychology of the English landscape, questioning the status of landscape painting, the use and value of bucolic imagery, and how one brings motifs from the natural environment into the domestic sphere. Brown seeks out less-celebrated views such as the corners of fields, small clearings, and hedgerows, challenging the vistas that we are often drawn to. Her view is a carefully edited one, giving the audience a perspective from outside the lexicon of the traditional picturesque.
