Hannah Lee (b. 1989, Madison, Wisconsin) depicts intimate interior scenes where a surrealist quality subsumes the viewer’s point of view. Oftentimes her oil paintings are made using a layering technique in which the revisions made during the painting process are not fully erased and the outlines of previous attempts show through the new paint, giving the paintings a spectral, transient quality
Lee received a BFA at Parsons School of Design in 2012. She made her solo debut at Entrance in 2021 with First Language. She has participated in numerous group shows in New York, Providence, and San Francisco, as well as internationally in Manilla and Tokyo. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
