ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Take Wings and Fly is a mixed media piece is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's 'Wild Swans'. The woman at the centre is our heroine Eliza, who has to give up her voice and sew garments out of stinging nettles to break the spell on her brothers. The original story is layered with themes of 'goodness' and 'purity'- both intrinsically linked to Eliza's beauty and fragility. In this piece I depict Eliza as strong and in control - she looks directly at the viewer. It celebrates the characteristics that are skipped over in the original story - Eliza's resourcefulness and determination to work her way out of despondency and save her brothers.

Hannah Gilson is an award winning London based artist whose mixed media practice combines painting, screen printing and drawing. Evolving from a predominately fine arts background, her work has naturally settled with hand drawn and digital illustration, where she engages with popular culture and aesthetics. She was recently awarded the Boodle Hatfield Printmaking Prize for her piece ‘Flowers’ and will have her first solo showcase at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2023. She exhibits her work through The Other Art Fair and the Affordable Art Fair, where she is represented by Air Contemporary Gallery. Her work was recently selected by House Of Hackney for their ‘Lets Fill This House With Art’ collection. More commercial work includes selling prints through retailers such as IKEA, Anthropologie and La Redoute. Commissioned work includes editorial illustration for the Evening Standard Magazine and a contemporary card range for Woodmansterne cards.
