About me

Dex Hannon is originally from Manchester now based in Blyth, North East England. His art lives in several private collections across the world. He has featured in books and magazines, both in the UK and abroad.
Dex Hannon is a British interdisciplinary artist whose work encompasses paint, digital art, moving image, sound, and photography.
Hannon's practice is an exploration of transformation and reinvention. At its core is a guiding question: "What else could it be

Hannon works across painting, film and digital media, frequently collaborating with alter egos such as Skin Vehicles to expand the dialogue between sound, image and motion. The practice is not constrained by the conventions of medium, chronology or narrative. Instead, it embraces instability, evolution, chance and the unpredictable trajectories of artistic experimentation.

The work invites the viewer into a space where memory, perception and imagination intersect. Scale, materiality and temporal shift become tools for reflection, while the recursive methodology challenges assumptions about originality, finality and authorship. Hannon's oeuvre is less concerned with depiction than with enactment, offering a lens through which audiences can reconsider not only what art is but what it might catalyse in thought and experience.

In 2025, he won the Collectors' Art Prize - Legends of Our Time Award.
In 2020, he won best in show for the International Art Folio 2020 Annual award.
In 2019, he was shortlisted for the Refresh Art Prize 2019.
