Harriet Poznansky

Harriet Poznansky born in 1990, UK, is an international artist based in London. She studied her BA at the Slade School of Fine Art and subsequently lived in the San Francisco Bay Area between 2014 - 2019, informing her perspective on the body, technology, and environment.

She has exhibited widely, including Coleman Projects, Saatchi Gallery, Alice Black Gallery, WAY OUT EAST, Holden Gallery, Boekie Woekie, Punt WG and SliceBerlin. Her works are held in private collections in North America and Europe. She was artist in residence at the University of Exeter’s department for ‘Environmental Intelligence’ between 2022 – 2024 and artist in residence at Coleman Projects during the summer 2024. Poznansky currently works within the field of expanded figurative painting, marked by a strong sensibility towards surrealism and absurdism. Poznansky’s multidisciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, print, sound, writing, performance, and installation. 

Her work is grounded in a methodology of collage, and process-driven material experimentation. Through this approach, Poznansky explores philosophical questions surrounding selfhood, subjectivity and the gaze, as well as formal questions regarding the relationship between drawing, painting, sound and space.
