Description

Fractures is a bold, dynamic work that captures the raw energy and constant motion of the natural world not as it is, but as it is remembered. Painted in an instinctive, fluid style, this large-scale piece pulses with environmental vitality.

The paint, green, red, and white are mixed directly on the canvas, allowing them to collide and fuse in unpredictable, organic ways. The result is a painting alive with motion, echoing the restless flow of wind through the landscape, where nothing is static and everything is becoming.

Created while immersed in the atmospheric experimental sounds of Secret Chiefs 3’s On the Wings of the Haoma: The Electromagnetic Azoth, the rhythm of the music seeps into every stroke.

Some gestures are soft and measured, others sharp and quick, building a visual tension that draws the viewer in. Planes shift, layers overlap, inviting you to question what’s emerging and what’s receding. Foreground becomes background and back again, like nature itself, in flux.

About the artist

Dex Hannon

Northumberland, United Kingdom

British Multimedia Artist, originally from Manchester now based in the North East.  In 2025, he won the Collectors' Art Prize - Legends of Our Time Award. In 2020, he won best in show for the International Art Folio 2020 Annual award. In 2019, he was shortlisted for the Refresh Art Prize 2019.

His work encompasses paint, digital art, film, sound, and photography. His practice is an exploration of transformation and reinvention. At its core is a guiding question: “What else could it be?” A single frame can ignite an entire cascade of creation, a painting, a film or a digital work, each one carrying within it the potential for the next. In this recursive approach, the boundaries between mediums dissolve. Paintings give rise to films, films fracture into digital works, and digital interventions in turn inspire new material explorations. Nothing is ever final. Each work functions simultaneously as culmination and inception, a node within an expanding network of possibility.

Hannon works across painting, film and digital media, frequently collaborating with alter egos such as Skin Vehicles to expand the dialogue between sound, image and motion. The practice is not constrained by the conventions of medium, chronology or narrative. Instead, it embraces instability, evolution, chance and the unpredictable trajectories of artistic experimentation.

The work invites the viewer into a space where memory, perception and imagination intersect. Scale, materiality and temporal shift become tools for reflection, while the recursive methodology challenges assumptions about originality, finality and authorship. Hannon’s oeuvre is less concerned with depiction than with enactment, offering a lens through which audiences can reconsider not only what art is but what it might catalyse in thought and experience.
