charleston, sc.
Through a tactile vernacular of abstraction, Natalie Hanson’s paintings present a candid and intimate interpretation of psychological space and life in the body. A vigorous approach to mark, and continuously unfolding layered passages make way for rich surfaces that beckon for investigation. Fragments of prose disrupt and emerge from invented spaces with subtle graphic acuity and emotional potency. Text in these works serve to ground the viewer within the immaterial of internal monologue. From spliced recollections of fractured memories to the inevitable vulnerability of the body moving through time, these works bare tender narratives of human experience.
