Follow on Google News | First international artist exhibition of an upcoming series: Peter HundshammerBismarck Studios is featuring artist Peter Hundshammer from Germany. The exhibition La Diva will have its opening and reception here at the gallery on June 16 from 5:30 - 9:30 pm.
By: Bismarck Studios Peter Hundshammer is more interested in the psychological or spiritual portrait trying to capture the inner psyche than rendering a straight portrait. He explains, “I try to visualize this secret on my canvas. Being far from just portraying the features I attempt to get hold of the splendour, the distance and the vulnerability of the diva. No cheap snapshot, no official website or screenshot feels her divinity like the eye of the painter”. Peter Hundshammer is using the concept of German expressionism in a contemporary way by exploring and deconstructing the public media image. An identity so complex and distant that it eventually becomes trite, empty, and reachable only by the overexposure of the media, is explored in depth by Peter Hundshammer. The individual image that was dissolved into the collective by a globalized reality is transformed through an analytical approach by the artist into their own underlying personality again. His paintings are not about Divas turning into mere images, they are about the person behind the glare and the real relationship with the viewer. # # # Bismarck Studios Contemporary Fine Art Gallery is the premier art center at the North-side of San Antonio. The Gallery guaranties high quality, original art work from well established international, national, and local artists as well as new comers to the art scene. End
