Not In This Time, Not With This Part #2
2025
In "Not In This Time, Not With This Part #2," Heidi Hahn presents a large-scale figure suspended in the artist's characteristic atmosphere of psychological ambiguity, where form dissolves at its own edges and the painted body seems to negotiate its presence within an unstable pictorial space. At 190.5 by 152.4 centimeters, the canvas commands a physical authority that draws the viewer into close proximity, yet Hahn's fluid, layered application of oil resists easy resolution, keeping the figure in a state of becoming rather than arrival. The title's insistent negation, repeated and fractured across its two clauses, reads as a kind of internal monologue embedded in paint, suggesting a subject defined less by what it is than by what it refuses or cannot yet inhabit. Hahn, who works between Los Angeles and New York, has built a focused critical following through her ability to render interiority as a formal problem rather than a narrative one. Her figures are neither portraits nor archetypes but something more provisional, presences caught mid-process and rendered with a sensuous looseness that rewards sustained looking. This work, produced in 2025, reflects the continued maturation of her practice, in which color relationships and gestural mark-making carry the full weight of emotional and psychological content without recourse to symbolic literalism. Currently presented through Kadel Willborn, this signed canvas represents a strong opportunity to acquire a significant recent work from an artist whose critical momentum continues to build. The absence of a frame leaves open the presentation, allowing collectors to engage directly with the raw edge of the canvas and the physical presence Hahn's surfaces consistently generate.
