Press Release

New Representation Part III is Andre Hemer’s debut solo exhibition at Gow Langsford Gallery. The new paintings continue the artist’s inquiry into the role of painting in a world dominated by digital media and the slippages in meaning between object and image.

Hemer’s approach to painting is typically y-gen in its use of both analogue and digital mechanisms. Using a method akin to a modern day ‘en plein air’ painting (a flat-bed scanner left open under the autumn sky of Tuscany) Hemer scans painted sculptural forms to create the backgrounds of his compositions. The combination of the light sources (the LED light of the scanner from below and the fading sunlight) create images that look digital but are not produced in a digital way. The images are then overworked with spray paint, acrylic, oil and very three-dimensional impasto to create visually dynamic compositions. The combination of techniques is reflected in the difficulty in describing the finished works in more traditional painting terms.
