“And for the first time, I can let it in again.” A quiet yet powerful message. The work speaks of an inner moment of openness and trust – following a period of withdrawal and vulnerability. It is the first step back into an emotional world that had long been closed off. It invites the viewer to reflect on their own experiences of letting go, courage and vulnerability. For being able to let something in again often requires more strength than never having let it go in the first place.
Shipping:
The artwork is stretched onto a stretcher frame and shipped in a beech shadow-joint frame (53.5 x 73.5 x 4 cm) – including a certificate of authenticity and the artist’s signature on the reverse.
Johanna Hodler
Hi, I’m Hanna and my works are created from a single, continuous line, which I complement with acrylics, oil pastels and coloured pencils. My work centres on abstracted faces, through which I explore everyday thoughts and emotions – such as procrastination, anxieties, questions of identity, relationships or the pressure of endless to-do lists.
My paintings explore themes that concern many people, whilst opening up space for individual interpretations. I find it particularly fascinating how differently the faces depicted are perceived – depending on the viewers’ personal experiences and backgrounds.
During an extended period in Spain
,
street scenes also found their way into my work. These motifs emerged as part of my artistic and psychogeographical research into the interplay between personal identity and urban space. For me, they represent possibilities, encounters and the question of to what extent I feel connected to certain places.
