Gabi Hamm (1956)
Untitled 2004, #28/04
2004 | Oil on canvas | 52 x 41 cm
Gabi Hamm's paintings are reminiscent of souvenirs. The predominance of classical themes, such as landscapes or female portraits, appeals to our visual memory. Her work is based on photographic material: newspapers, postcards and the reproduction of paintings or photographs she made herself. Gabi Hamm's painting is not photorealism; it is closer to symbolism or poetic realism. On an often monochrome background and with a limited palette, the artist evokes a fragile and fleeting, dense and mysterious world. Each work is a reflection on the origin and appearance of a reality.
