‘The Imagist & The Materialist’ is a solo presentation of new mixed media and video work by Andre Hemer.
About
The Imagist & The Materialist continues Hemer’s study of the performance of images transitioning from digital to tangible. The works are in themselves a documentation of this action and carry the viewer along the stages in the transformation. The result is a middle ground – a visual purgatory of sorts – where space, light and colour are reimagined, and both the beginning and end result are there for all to see, yet it is this halfway point that intrigues the most.
Such intense scrutiny of image and it’s response to stress and change is symptomatic of painting and always has been, and while a critical view is generally reserved for a finished state Hemer brings into question the process as a whole and questions the value of image from genesis to resolution.
