Hannah Mary

Gibson

I am an artist and educator currently based in Glasgow. My practice approaches painting as a constructed site where image, structure and material are continuously negotiated. Drawing from archaeology, archival records, diagrammatic drawings, science fiction cinema and found artefacts, I work through processes of extraction, reconstruction and fragmentation to produce works that sit between painting and object. Research into archaeological sites and landscapes informs an interest in excavation not simply as representation, but as a way of exploring how histories are constructed, disrupted, and reinterpreted. Alongside speculative and technical imagery, these references are used to build spatial systems that challenge fixed timelines and singular meanings.

Previous Experience

In 2025, I completed the MLitt in Fine Art (Painting Pathway) at Glasgow School of Art, following from a First Class BA (Hons) in Painting from Gray’s School of Art in 2018. I also completed DEM022: Supporting Learning, Teaching and Assessment at Robert Gordon University in 2023 and undertook printmaking studies at Leith School of Art in 2022. My work has been exhibited across Scotland and the UK, including presentations at Glasgow School of Art, Outlier Gallery, New Glasgow Society, RSA, Assembly House Gallery, Leeds. Upcoming projects in 2026 include a solo exhibition, at Studio Pavilion, Glasgow, and participation in the Royal Drawing School Residency at Dumfries House. I have also been featured in publications such as Windfall* and Lablabla
