A painter whose sweeping landscapes, made with fingers rather than brushes, are so alive that they have a pulse.

Hayal Pozanti makes abstract paintings by drawing with brightly colored oil sticks that she blends into the canvas with her fingers. From her home in rural Vermont, the artist sketches landscapes outdoors, capturing lifelike movement and natural growth. Concerned about the natural world, Pozanti calls her paintings “love letters” to the Earth. Pozanti seeks a trancelike connection between body and mind, shaping her biomorphic forms that are rooted in an original symbolic language into sweeping visions marked by the texture of touch.

Pozanti (b. 1983, Istanbul, Turkey) has a BA from Sabanci University and an MFA from Yale University. Her work is in the permanent collections of Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum; East Lansing, MI; JP Morgan Chase Art Collection, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), CA; San Jose Museum of Art, CA; UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, MA; and the Long Museum, Shanghai. She has been awarded large-scale public projects and commissions by the New York Public Library; Public Art Fund, New York and Cleveland Clinic and Case Western, OH. She has enjoyed institutional solo shows at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York. Pozanti is included in the American Pavilion at the 2024 Gwangju Biennial. She lives and works in Manchester, VT.
