Hannah Brown’s Paintings

Artist Hannah Brown is concerned with the particular psychology of the English countryside.

Born in 1977 in Salisbury, Brown completed her BA Sculpture at Central St Martins in 1999 and her MA at the Royal College of Art in 2006. In particular, Brown is interested in the status of landscape painting, the use and value of bucolic imagery, and how we interact with the natural environment and bring it into the domestic sphere.

You can listen to Brown on a regular return to Cornwall on Studio Visit, our podcast co-founded by Omar Kholeif and Levin Haegele.
