HERBERT HAMAK
Hamak was born in 1952, in Unterfranken, Bavaria, where he lives and works to this day.He spent the years 1972-1980 at the StaedelArtSchool in Frankfurt, one of Germany’s crucibles of artistic innovation.He is an artist dedicated to the tactile and painterly qualities of light.Working in resin, his abstract, minimal forms are simple studies in the saturation of colour and ask an infinite number of visual questions.Hamak has refined his palette and technique over the past quarter century allowing for a variety of form that, although at once sculptural, he prefers to regard as paintings.His works impress because they are strongly structured, rigorous, transparent, and ambiguous entities.
His work has been exhibited around the world and is represented in numerous prestigious permanent collections: MMK, Frankfurt; Kunsthalle, Mannheim; Technische Hocheschule, Frankfurt; the Daimler Chrysler Collection, Switzerland; and The PeggyGuggenheimMuseum, Venice.
