About The Artist

from abstraction to figuration

  

Over the past thirty years Montreal-based artist Hannah Alpha has been refining and simplifying her expression of movement and of the human body. With a few minimalist lines, she illustrates the human body in all its sensuality and its simplest expression.

 

Through her practice of Tai Chi, she has developed an intensification of consciousness of the unity between being and awareness, and that feeling permeates throughout her art.
 

“Starting in 2020, because of the Covid pandemic, I could not go to any Atelier de Dessin for live models. Many Internet sites with live models filled up the empty space and I spent many hours everyday taking advantage of those readily available live sessions through Zoom. I drew models from around the world, in sessions with artists coming each time from 20 or more cities worldwide. These are my latest works, and they sum up everything I have learned over the years.” – Hannah Alpha 


Hannah is represented by Art Interiors gallery in Toronto, Canada and Atelier Circulaire in Montreal. She is an active member of the Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels du Québec (RAAV).

 

She has participated in solo or collective exhibitions in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America. Hannah Alpha's work is in private and public collections around the world including the Canada Council Art Bank (Ottawa), the Canadian Museum of Civilization (Hull), the Artothèque of the Gabrielle-Roy library (Quebec City), Loto-Québec (Montreal), Sony Music (Toronto), the Royal Bank (Montreal), Chateau Champlain (Montreal), Sanofi Aventis (Laval), Collart Collection (Montreal) and the Hyatt Regency Hotel (Jeddah & Riyadh).
 

Hannah Alpha has taught drawing and painting at the Saidye Bronfman Center for the Arts in Montreal for fifteen years.
