Alex Hanna
Alex Hanna is an English artist. He studied Fine Art at Sunderland Polytechnic from 1983 to 1986. His paintings display arrangements of disposable packaging and objects which have little or no material value. These objects are arranged in a traditional still life format and painted using process based and traditional painting techniques.
Hanna has exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, London, Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Academy of Arts. His paintings have been acquired by Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Falmouth Art Gallery, Swindon Art Gallery, The Priseman Seabrook Collection, Rugby Art Gallery and Museum and the University of Arizona Museum of Art.Selected exhibitions
