His body of work has always centred on depictions of nature; in recent years, he has developed his \u2018Paradise Pictures\u2019. These works are populated by a panoply of animals and human characters, as well as fantastical architecture. On display now are works from Gerhard Hammerl\u2019s current creative period. His unmistakable style is evident in his delicate, meticulously constructed drawings. The creatures depicted come together to form dense visual compositions that convey a utopian vision of peace. At the Jugend am Werk Steiermark painting workshop in Graz, a rotating group of artists work intensively every day in a well-equipped communal studio. Here, each artist develops their own unique artistic expression. The spectrum ranges from small-format drawings and canvas paintings to impressive large-format, wall-filling works. This exhibition, curated by Miriam Prager, offers a fresh perspective on the work of Gerhard Hammerl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gerhard Hammerl \u2013 Paradise<\/strong><br>29.08.2026 \u2013 06.09.2026<br>Schaumbad Graz<br>Puchstra\u00dfe 41<br>8020 Graz<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schaumbad.mur.at\">www.schaumbad.mur.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29.08.2026 \u2013 06.09.2026 Gerhard Hammerl has been working at the Jugend am Werk Steiermark art studio for 35 years now.
