When you open up the Fall 2024 Juxtapoz Quarterly, our colleague Kristin Farr brings up a caveat when looking (or hearing) about the works of Hannah Wilson. "Embedded in this interview is a required watchlist: Motion pictures that catalyze the arresting paintings of Hannah Wilson." What perhaps you need to know is that Wilson's works are dramatic in that they are the in-between moments of film, stills of the often-missed moments of repose and turmoil. Backs of heads, faces turned down, whispers, grimaces, stress. This is the world of Hannah Wilson is investigating.
The Glasgow-based painter has had quite the few years in the public eye, from a solo show at Steve Turner in Los Angeles and residency in Norwich with the team at Moosey and a new feature in our Fall Quarterly. When we asked Wilson how 2024 was going to wrap up, they said "I’ll be continuing my research, watching lots of films and painting what feels good. Also failing, of course, if I’m lucky."
