Connecticut-based Hans Neleman is an interdisciplinary artist educated in London and New York. He has exhibited internationally, including shows at the National Gallery of Australia and the Biennale de Lyon. His work is in the permanent collections of the Peabody Essex Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon, and many more.

After three decades of shooting international advertising campaigns, directing music videos, and working in fine art, Hans Neleman continues to be intrigued by the discovery of beauty within dark themes. He is a poetic storyteller engaged with cultural symbolism and the human figure. These conceptual threads form the basis of his artistic expression.

Educated at Goldsmiths, University of London, and New York University, where he received his Master’s degree, Neleman studied under artists such as Duane Michals, Arnold Newman, and William Wegman. Early recognition included Kodak’s Young Photographer of the Year, Hasselblad’s Master title, and the Sinar World Image Award.
