Hannah Becher
Hannah Becher was born in the German city of Marburg in 1963 and studied Fine Art and Set Design at „Etage“ Berlin. She has participated in exhibitions across Germany, including a number of solo-exhibitions in Berlin and Dresden. She lives in Berlin.
In her paintings, Becher seeks to grasp hold of her surroundings through a perceptive art process. Most of her works are based on her own photography – raw images, digitally processed and edited to produce black and white prints. Becher cuts up the images to produce stencils, which subsequently come to define the painting process. While acrylic paint remains the primary medium, the main protagonists in her paintings are the areas left blank, which reveal natural shapes and industrial scenery. Through this technique, Becher creates a negative-positive aesthetic often seen in street art, while capturing acute images within scenes on canvas, carbon-paper, and fleece.
