The portrait "Schweinehund", painted on a circular plastic lid, depicts the head of a man wearing an ochre-colored sweater against a dark background. His face is distorted into a dog-like visage, with a grotesquely enlarged nose and a tragicomic expression. Through this exaggerated transformation, Paule Hammer imbues the work with a subtle sense of self-irony. Paule Hammer's works are represented in collections including the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig.
About the Artist Paule Hammer
Paule Hammer (b. 1975 in Leipzig) weaves image and text into layered pictorial narratives in which philosophical reflection, everyday observation, dreams and stray thoughts flow together. His often labyrinthine, first-person compositions build encyclopaedic worlds that hover between diary, self-interrogation and an attempt to read the world. Hammer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts (HGB) in Leipzig, was a master student of Sighard Gille, and now teaches there himself. He is also a musician and founded the Leipzig artists' house "Frühauf" in 2002. His work is held at the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf and the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig, among others.
