Hannah Luxton makes paintings inspired by the geological sublime and the late 18th Century Romantic notion that a divine order resides within raw nature. Animistic currents run through her works, hinting towards a higher spiritual dimension. Animism intimates the attribution of a living soul to inanimate objects and natural phenomena, and belief in a supernatural power that organizes and animates the material universe. As such, Luxton finds her subjects in her explorations of the remote natural world - the sun, the moon, stars, mountain tops, waterfalls, craters and ice caverns.

Hannah Luxton (b. 1986, London) works from her secluded studio within Epping Forest. She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art MA (2012) and is an Arts Council supported artist. Luxton has undertaken many artist residencies and expeditions for visual research, notably Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California and Iceland.
