Jörg Hamann

Jörg Hamann is a German visual artist. He received his solid professional training at Carl Zeiss Jena. He soon realized that he was not only fascinated by optics, but that visual experience would be the starting point for his future artistic expression. He studied painting at the renowned Academy of Fine Arts (HfBK) in Dresden. After graduating, he was appointed a master student there. His work has been exhibited internationally and has been recognized with grants and several awards.
In his current series of works, after years of experimentation in the studio, he has succeeded in transforming photography into painting through screen printing. The predominantly multi-panel panoramas combine motifs from landscapes and nature with human figures or architecture, creating a complex and compelling interplay. The exquisite palette of the selected panels evokes both the aesthetics of historical photographs and the subtly vibrant colors of modern Pop Art.
