CAMILLE HANNAH
TOUCHSENSITIVE -
Camille Hannah
‘Touchsensitive’ launches at HOFA Gallery, 3 –17 August, it explores themes of sensuality, intimacy and touch in an era of mediated visuality, enticing viewers into captivating worlds of luminant and luxuriant textures created on plexiglass and synthetic silk canvases.
Camille Hannah’s paintings predicate a model of painting that is born from within the frame of technology; they are embedded in twenty-first century gestural abstraction while conceptually vested in digital and screen technologies.
Structurally and aesthetically functioning along the lines of a screen, these paintings aim to incorporate some of the same spectatorial conditions established by a new screen paradigm, such as notions of movement and fluidity, arrested and caught within a painting frame, and the utilisation of a type of perception based on the fragmentary nature of vision.

'Touchsensitive' will mark the début of new and never-before-seen artworks by the award-winning gestural virtuoso. These include the mesmerizingly blue 'Oeollade (2022)' whose surreal marine hues and wave-like brushstrokes enfold the viewer in luminant coolness, and 'Woman in Amber (2022)' whose decadent tumult of luscious golden browns and bulging folds entice the viewer to feel its silky softness.

Venus, 2022 This exhibition represents a significant conceptual evolution in Hannah's art as she reaches deep into the philosophies of Leibniz and Deleuze to create artworks that visually articulate the ideals and aesthetics of the digital baroque, elevating her career-long explorations of the screen paradigm and mediated visuality to new heights. -

Achille et Briseis, 2019 Digital baroqueness emerges through the mediums the artist employs as well as her masterful techniques for achieving the kind of luminance, reflectiveness and texture that insinuate interactive qualities in the digital era. Her visual renditions of the Deleuzean fold heightens these features even more and the result are artworks that possess an ornate resplendence, intensity of colour and effusive even erotic softness that are true to the aesthetics of the Baroque and the feminine sensuality Hannahcelebrates. -
