Preston Hanna is revitalizing the artistic landscape through his socially conscious, multidisciplinary approach to Bahamian Art. His bold colours and distinctive strokes are a snapshot of how Bahamian culture has evolved to encompass our indigenous people, Africa and all that is uniquely Bahamian. Hanna’s depiction of Bahamian themes and motifs is a reminder that beauty is not always demure and in need of affirmation but can be bold, secure, modern, and inclusive. Through Hanna’s inclusive philosophy and multidisciplinary approach his art commands our attention. We are inspired by his seamless movement between visual art and choreography. He excites his audience by his capacity to relate to them. But we admire him more for unabashedly leaving his heart on the canvas. This young, dynamic artist has earned his place in the annals of Bahamian art history and today we are here to celebrate our son of the soil--Mr. Preston Hanna, the artistic door to a NEW BAHAMAS!
