Meet & Greet with Visionary Artist Hannah Yata

In partnership with Tribe13, join us at the Athenaeum for the opening night reception of our next featured visionary artist Hannah Yata!

Hannah Yata, a highly skilled artist, employs the techniques and materials utilized by the great masters of the past. Her artwork transports viewers to psychedelic wonderlands that initially appear whimsical and playful, but upon closer examination, reveal profound resonance and symbolism. This creates an atmosphere that is simultaneously captivating and all-consuming. Yata's paintings serve as a personal narrative, exploring themes of female empowerment, spirituality, and ecological transformation. Bold and confrontational, her figures and nature-inspired psychedelic language take viewers on a journey, encouraging them to perceive the world through a fresh perspective. Yata skillfully manipulates mythical and feminine motifs as extensions of nature, prompting contemplation of the reality or surreality inherent in the stories that shape our existence. Drawing inspiration from Paleolithic and Neolithic art, she incorporates these ancient symbols and patterns into her work, celebrating the cycles of nature and pagan imagery that have historically been marginalized by society. As our civilization continues to progress towards a highly industrialized world, Yata's art exudes a nostalgic reverence and deep admiration for the natural world that birthed us.

Born in 1989, Hannah Yata is a half-Japanese-American artist renowned for her vibrant large-scale paintings and surreal, visually striking style. Her canvases serve as symphonies to life and the vast unfolding universe, blending elements of mysticism, alchemy, and the natural world to create awe-inspiring crescendos of color and form. Having experienced a rupture from her family's religious beliefs during her formative years, Yata's separation from her established belief system ignited an insatiable curiosity to explore the world with fresh eyes. Her work delves into profound concepts such as the nature of the universe, the origins of religion, and the significance and symbolism of femininity in human consciousness. Published in prestigious magazines and online platforms including Juxtapoz, Hypebeast, Art News, Hi-Fructose, Beautiful Bizarre, and HEY! Magazine, Yata's paintings have garnered international recognition. Her artwork has been showcased in numerous galleries and museums across the globe, including Japan, California, New York, Denmark, and Germany.
