The title already poses a question: „What is art for – and how should it work?“ On a large canvas, Paule Hammer weaves image and text into a layered pictorial narrative in which the reflection on the meaning and effect of art becomes the subject itself. Characteristically, he gathers thoughts, notes and scenes into a labyrinthine, first-person composition, so that the work shifts between diary, manifesto and picture.
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.
