The Shop: Books, Art and Pretty Things

For his first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, Lewis Hammond (*1987, Wolverhampton, UK) transformed the Kunstpalais into a world with a mysterious atmosphere and timeless imagery. Inspired by periods ranging from the Renaissance to Surrealism, Hammond creates paintings in which time seems to stand still. Dark, symbolically charged scenes and powerfully present bodies create a depth that eludes fleeting observation and acts as a counterbalance to the digital world's fleeting flood of images.
This catalogue brings the exhibition at the Kunstpalais back to life. With impressive illustrations and atmospheric images, it captures the depth of Hammond's painting. A detailed interview with the artist provides personal insights into his creative process and his sources of inspiration. Essays explore the multi-layered references to past eras and current social conflicts. The richly illustrated and lovingly designed catalogue makes it possible to immerse oneself in the exhibition again.
