Hannah Luxton’s practice is inspired by the 19th Century Romantic notion that a divine power resides within raw nature. She has an instinctive empathy for Eastern philosophies of the Void, and embraces this space as freedom beyond the confines of the material world.
Spiritual, animistic currents run through Luxton’s work, hinting towards a supernatural power that organises and animates the material universe. She finds her subjects in her observations of the natural sublime in the wilderness – from oceans and mountains, to the moon and stars – abstracting each referent into an archetypal version of itself.
Luxton has reframed her ideas within this built environment, particularly relating to Hodgkinson’s [1] desire to bring people closer to nature. Seeing it as a landscape to exist within, her new body of ethereal space paintings draw from the panoramic vistas of the sky offered by the Brunswick’s large windows, open spaces such as the second floor terrace, as well as the light-flooded contrasts afforded through the building’s various apertures.
