Herbert Hamak: At the end of the rainbow

Concurrently with Miart and during the Milanese design week, Studio la Città will be presenting a show of works by the German artist Herbert Hamak: At the end of the rainbow, which will be installed on this occasion inside the temporary space Doubletrouble95, in the Naviglio area, and as part of the Fuori Salone circuit.

The show, which will be opening on Friday 31st March 2017, more than a classical retrospective exhibi­tion of works by the artist, is the “telling of a story”, as Hamak himself explained during a recent inter­view. It is a story that narrates his birth as a painter, the evolution of his studies about colour, and the ways in which he learned to paint, because this is how he defines himself a “painter”. In this sense the title is highly significant and contains in itself the epilogue of this research. The key work of the exhibition is, in fact, a large multi-coloured installation, conceived for invading the refracted light of the exhibition space, just like a rainbow.

Among the works on show, apart from those hung on the walls and the sculptures of various forms and sizes on the floor, there will also be presented some “columns” which can be exhibited outside.
