Heidi Hahn
»The women in Heidi Hahn’s paintings live on their own time. Occupying hazy interiors, fully inhabiting their bodies as they sit in stillness, slump over themselves, or simply stand, gazing at nothing in particular. Hahn is interested more in interior states than literal portraits. She has become known for depictions of sharply limned figures that favor mood over exacting details. In recent years, she has been increasingly inclined to lean into the abstract and the strange, delineating forms without providing a definitive sense of space. Her women are getting larger and contorted, their knees and elbows grazing the canvas edge and heads barely fitting into the picture plane. Monumental yet intimate, solitary yet commanding, they find a natural unity of ambience.«
