Artist Directory: Hannah Flowers
Hannah Flowers, a Tasmanian painter based in the Scottish Highlands, creates works that fuse Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist aesthetics with pulp horror sensibilities. Drawing from medieval art and natural landscapes, her practice investigates the boundary between beauty and the macabre through compromised figuration imbued with quiet intensity. Leveraging experience as a tattoo artist, Flowers employs meticulous mark-making and historic pigment techniques to achieve formal authenticity. Her recurring iconography—animal familiars, botanical motifs, and feminine archetypes—functions as symbolic language exploring transformation, desire, and the femme fatale as embodiment of power and vulnerability. The work prioritizes craftsmanship and transcendence over shock value, positioning macabre imagery as a vehicle toward sublime wholeness.
