Hannah Stevenson (b.1964 UK) is a contemporary, abstract painter.
Her work draws inspiration from her immediate surroundings, constructing a sense of place in her vivid landscapes. Her time living in Russia, China and the Middle East, has guided her painterly techniques and media incorporating the history, literature and cultural narratives of the locale in her paintings. Using a combination of abstract values and representational imagery, her extensive material practice incorporates; oil, enamel and resin paint on metal, canvas and plexiglass.
Stevenson has exhibited internationally including Shanghai, Geneva, Cairo, and notably at the British Embassy in Moscow where her site specific aluminium works were displayed in the new Richard Burton building.
Long fascinated by Constructivism and Suprematism, she gained first-hand experience of these ideas studying under veteran Moscow painter Andrei Sakharov. Using a ballroom in the British Embassy as a studio, she produced large abstracted landscapes with strong, flat planes and curving lines on sheet metal.
Stevenson is currently working on a new body of paintings, exploring themes from the natural environment living near the North Norfolk coast.
