The Test Of Time Painting

HANNAH YANETSKO IS A CONTEMPORARY FINE ARTIST BASED IN DAVIDSON, NORTH CAROLINA — WHERE SHE LIVES AND PAINTS WITH HER TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS, ADELINE AND ELEANOR. HER LARGE-SCALE PAINTINGS OF EDGELESS OCEANS, PUNCTUATED WITH FIGURES ADRIFT IN THE WATER, ARE BOTH DYNAMIC AND FULL OF MOVEMENT WHILE MAINTAINING A RESTFUL QUALITY, REPLETE WITH MYSTERY. SHE SUSPENDS THE OCEAN'S PERPETUAL MOVEMENT IN DAZZLING SCULPTURAL RESIN SURFACES, CAPTURING AND REFLECTING LIGHT, ILLUMINATING SWELLS, PEAKS, AND TROUGHS. INSIDE THESE “OTHER OCEANS,” RELATIONSHIPS BEGIN TO APPEAR BETWEEN BATHERS, SUBTLY JUXTAPOSING ANONYMITY AND FAMILIARITY, BLURRING THE LINE BETWEEN MEMORY AND DREAM. HER WORKS INVITE THE VIEWER TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK; NEUTRAL PALETTES BECOME A WORLD OF NUANCED COLOR AND TEXTURAL MARK MAKING — A BALANCE THAT FEELS GROUNDED AND QUIETLY AVANT-GARDE.
