HANNA SZABÓ-SÁFRÁNY

HANNA SZABÓ-SÁFRÁNY IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST WHOSE WORK TEARS OPEN WORMHOLES INTO THE IMAGINATIVE UNCANNY. VIEWING THE BODY AS A MASS OF KNEADABLE DOUGH, HANNA SCULPTS FLESHY FORMS OF ANATOMICAL AMBIGUITIES WHICH CONGEAL AROUND IMAGES OF ARTIFICIALITY, REGENERATION, AND CYBORGIAN TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTION, AMPUTATED BEINGS WHICH OPERATE UNDER UNIVERSAL CONDITIONS EXTENDING BEYOND THE RECOGNIZABLE. WITH HER PAINTINGS AS A SPACE TO INTUITIVELY MAP OUT THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF THE IMAGINATION, HANNA BUILDS OUT WORLDS WHOSE OFFERINGS OF HYPNOTHESIZED NARRATIVE PLUNGE THE VIEWER INTO THEIR CORPOREALITY, TURNING FLESH SACKS INSIDE OUT TO WRESTLE WITH THE MORTAL BODY’S INHERENT INADEQUACY IN THE FACE OF RAMPANT TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS.
