Excerpt from curatorial statementby Garth Gratrix
....... We then come to see works by Hannah Campion. An artist who has a broad set of brushstrokes in the way colour and concept bleed into our lives through various means cascading, sculpting, injecting and immersing us within paradise like hues. You can feel a line of enquiry running throughout the work as if each piece feeds or is directly pulled, torn from the other in an ongoing investigation into colour and space.
You feel a sense of intuition and process in the works with Campion almost being a facilitator of the potentiality of paint as a collaborative process with to that of the artists hand or intention.
The viewer receives an invitation to actively generate ideas beyond having something depicted to you; we perhaps experience something as much as seeing it as the works emote and shimmer.
As bold as the colour spectrum is in her work there are moments of whimsy, vulnerability and ephemerality; ending the exhibition with works that invite you off the canvas onto multiple surfaces and perspectives. We are compelled to psychologically inject colour into our everyday and imagine how we see our world developing more dynamically.
