Cultured magazine profiles 27-year-old artist Hannah Taurins, who is based in New York and originally from Houston. Her upcoming show with Tureen will explore the life cycle of a love story, drawing on nuptial aesthetics. Taurins’ drawing and painting practice extracts spiritual undertones from superficial sources like magazine spreads, pop anthems, and fangirl culture, and has been shown at galleries including Theta and Château Shatto. She cites Amy Sillman’s painting class at Cooper Union as a key influence, and describes her work as "sexy, colorful, fresh."
This profile is part of Cultured’s 2025 Young Artists list, which spotlights emerging talents in the contemporary art world. Taurins’ focus on the intersection of femininity, fashion, and art history, combined with her rapid-fire yet deliberate process, signals a rising generation of artists who mine popular culture for deeper meaning. Her inclusion in the list underscores the continued importance of young, gallery-represented artists in shaping current artistic discourse.
