André Hemer’s first solo exhibition in New York will feature a selection of new paintings and sculpture created during the worldwide shutdowns spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.
About
Hemer is recognized for his distinct fusion of digital scanning processes with a physical working of thick formations of acrylic paint. His paintings, which are produced by layering paint on a flatbed scanner left exposed to both natural and artificial light, are ripe for an era in which the boundaries between the real and manufactured have been deeply eroded. As the spread of COVID-19 has altered daily life in unexpected and unprecedented ways, Hemer’s work has taken on an increased poignancy and urgency, pushing against the substitution of digital experiences for lived ones and embracing the seemingly universal need to reconnect with the natural world.
