In this captivating artwork, Dex Hannon pays homage to the iconic Wind Turbine that stands as a sentinel over the landscape of Blyth, Northumberland. Drawing inspiration from photographs, Hannon embarks on a creative journey that traverses mediums, transitioning from static images to a dynamic animated film. The resulting image is a testament to Hannon's dedication to capturing the essence of Blyth, delving deep into its visual tapestry to uncover the nuances that define its character. By meticulously redrawing selected frames from the animated film, he distills the essence of the landscape, highlighting the interplay between form and function. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork serves as a poignant reflection of the evolving identity of Northumberland. As the region transitions from its industrial past to embrace renewable energy, the Wind Turbine emerges as a symbol of this transformation. Through the abstraction of familiar motifs, such as the flag and the repeated motif of the turbine, Hannon captures the essence of change, weaving together elements of tradition and progress into a compelling visual narrative. In this bold and evocative piece, Hannon invites viewers to contemplate the shifting landscapes of both physical and metaphorical realms, offering a powerful commentary on the ever-changing nature of our surroundings and the enduring spirit of adaptation. His works currently are based on frames of this film he created from a series of still photographs of the local area of Northumberland. Objects and areas he refers to as 'memes' places and objects etched into his mind as he recalls journeys around the area. https://youtu.be/GW04ho_ayls?si=wiAUyHFqxR5Djnf9

Born in 1972 in Manchester, Dex Hannon is an abstract expressionist who moves effortlessly between mediums of paint, digital, sound, and photography. Similarly to Mark Rothko and Gerhard Richter, Hannon uses music as his main source of inspiration. His art transforms the memories and emotions evoked while listening to music into dynamic and expressive brushstrokes on canvas. Hannon’s paintings are sublime pictorial symphonies characterised by an intricate weaving of lines that capture an infinite string of emotions conveyed through a range of textures and bold colour palettes. Alongside his traditional work, the artist has developed throughout the years a new approach to digital art developing work for his “Retro Futurism” project/series. Hannon gives a new life to his paintings by photographing them during the creative process and then digitally recreate them by combining multiple artworks. According to the artist, the technique of “digitally remixing” his paintings allows him to give life to a brand-new artwork that reimagines and reinterprets the original. The end result is often completely different from the original painting, yet it is still part of it, because without the first, the remix would not exist. The artist turns to photography not only to remix his paintings but also to point out the beauty and tragedy of the little worlds around our feet. As with music, Hannon is deeply fascinated by nature and its volatility, and with his photographs he hopes that “others notice this world and take note of how quickly anyone’s world can change”. Dex Hannon regularly exhibits in the UK, and in 2020 he was awarded the ‘Best in Show’ prize for the inaugural Art Folio Annual Award. Dex Hannon currently works and lives in Blyth, Northumberland, UK.
