Hattie Landells (b. 1990, Hampshire) is a painter and writer living and working in London, UK. Her work embraces magical thinking, exploring and constructing a visual language of echoes and equivalents. A familiarity with rural England from childhood continually draws Hattie back to an exploration of the interface between the human and more-than-human world - animal, vegetable and mineral. Beginning with a found object or form in the landscape, or a dovetail or double meaning revealed by language, she expands on this through an intuitive process in charcoal, chalk pastel, or using thin oil paint, whose highly liquid texture allows for quick stream-of-consciousness decision making. Most fundamentally, Hattie is interested in how our understanding of the divine or the sacred continue to intersect with contemporary image making. Her training in anthropology informs a writing and research process surrounding the production of the works, which she describes as emblems or portals exploring disorienting (or reorienting) instances where categories and forms lie on the edge of merging. She studied on the Turps Studio Programme 2020/1 and 2023/4 and has participated in groups shows in London and internationally, as well as her first two-person show in London, this year (April 2025), at General Assembly.)
