NOT YOUR WOMAN (Continued) #5
2025
In "NOT YOUR WOMAN (Continued) #5," Heidi Hahn presents an intimate yet quietly confrontational figure rendered in oil on canvas, where the body becomes a site of psychological tension rather than passive display. Working at a compact 27.9 × 35.6 cm, Hahn compresses her characteristic atmosphere of psychological interiority into a format that demands close looking, rewarding the viewer with layers of painterly nuance that larger canvases might diffuse. Her handling of the medium is both lush and restrained, building surfaces that feel emotionally charged through color temperature and the deliberate withholding of conventional likeness. This work belongs to an ongoing series that pushes back against the long history of the female figure as object of the gaze, repositioning her instead as a sovereign presence. Hahn's figures tend to exist in states of becoming rather than fixed identity, their features softened or obscured in ways that feel less like absence and more like refusal. The title itself functions as a declaration woven directly into the visual language of the painting, reinforcing a sense of autonomy that collectors who engage seriously with feminist art discourse will recognize as both timely and historically grounded. Signed by the artist and offered through Michael Kohn Gallery, this small-format canvas is an accessible entry point into Hahn's practice for new collectors, while carrying the same conceptual density that has made her work increasingly sought after on the international stage. The absence of framing allows the collector freedom to present the work according to their own considered aesthetic, and the intimacy of the scale makes it a compelling addition to a thoughtfully assembled collection.
