Jeremy Hamann (b. 1987, Lincoln, NE) is an artist based in Boulder County, Colorado. His paintings explore humanity’s conscious and unconscious connection to patterns in nature.
Hamann is a self-taught artist with two decades of experience, working primarily with oil paints on panel. His work draws inspiration from the natural world, particularly the dynamic qualities of the sky and its connection to human consciousness and dreams. Influenced by textile traditions and the practices of quilt makers, his art engages with pattern-making as one of the most ancient and enduring forms of artistic expression. Through layered compositions and intentional use of color, Hamann seeks to evoke a sense of connection to the natural world and to the patterns that individuals unconsciously experience, create, and modify.
Hamann’s paintings are distinguished by a combination of intuitive mark-making and a deliberately structured, quilt-like lattice. This duality between emotion and rationality generates a visual effect that guides the viewer’s gaze through the Cartesian grid into a dynamic field of primal sensation. Hamann intends for this contrast to evoke in viewers an awareness of the universal human tendency to construct a conscious façade over unconscious experience.
