This month, the Humble Gallery will host Christopher Hanson’s forthcoming exhibition entitled ‘Skin’.
Hanson’s signature work of large scale realistic portraits, painted using traditional methods, show great accuracy and detail. He aims to capture not only the likeness, but the essence of his sitters.
His paintings explore the fear and fascination associated with dark skin and the depiction of the Black Body as exotic, hyper-sexual and hyper-masculine.
My work explores the subconscious mind relates to ‘darkness’ and ‘blackness’ and aims to depict the beauty, mystery and unexplained power that is associated with black skin. – Christopher Hanson
‘Skin’ will be open to the public from Friday 19th November until 15th January 2022
