Hannah Bohnen’s art turns the unseen—like unconscious gestures and scribbles—into captivating sculptures, surfaces, and installations, celebrating life’s overlooked moments. In Vienna, we’ll display her diverse works, including glass objects, painted panels, and plaster sculptures, blending content with aesthetics to engage a broad audience. Bohnen’s pieces, inspired by the spontaneous choreography of daily movements and dance, use drawings, paintings, performances, and sculptures to document these ephemeral actions. Her art features recurring motifs, such as swirls, symbolizing pre-writing scribbles or telephone doodles, simplified into their purest forms. Embracing imperfections, her playful art includes offset printing and soft sculptures. Her work „Obsession“ echoes the complexity of Eugène Ysaÿe’s Second Solo Sonata „Obsession,“ performed by Philipp Bohnen of the Berlin Philharmonic. This piece, known for its expressive violin sound and technical demands, ranges from powerful to delicate. Hannah Bohnen visualizes this auditory experience, making the abstract melodies of the violin tangible through her visual art, incorporating motion tracking to bridge sound and sight.
