Meena Hasan

Associate Professor

Meena Hasan’s artworks navigate the politics and aesthetics of heritage by drawing from processes and forms sourced from her index of personal and historical textiles, patterns and decorations. Incorporating fine ink drawings and decorative mark making with washes, stains and accumulations of color pigment, she uses paint and a variety of papers to develop textured and exuberant psychosomatic surfaces.

Hasan (born 1987, NYC) received her BA from Oberlin College in 2009 and her MFA from Yale School of Art in 2013, where she won the Carol Schlosberg Memorial Prize for Painting. In 2010, she was awarded the Terna Prize Affiliated Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. She has participated in group exhibitions at the Center for Book Arts, NYC; the Stedelijk Museum, Den Bosch, The Netherlands; Deitch Projects, NYC; Nathalie Karg Gallery, NYC; the 2022 New England Triennial at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum; and Fruitlands Museum and most recently at BRIC Arts and Media in downtown Brooklyn.

Recent solo exhibitions have been shown at LAUNCHF18, NYC in 2022 and at the Lee Gallery at the Miami University Museum of Art in Oxford, OH in February 2023. Meena has taught painting at Rutgers University – Newark, Pratt Institute’s painting MFA program, the School of Visual Arts at Boston University and Studio in a School, NYC. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
