André Hemer’s startling and seductive works call upon the long tradition of the handmade painting, but also acknowledge the digital imagery that increasingly dominates our experience of the world. Here, the picture plane is transformed into an unsettling and unpredictable space, leaving the question of what is real – and what is not – intentionally up in the air.

My main base is in Vienna although I’ve lived a reasonably nomadic life for quite some time now. The last time that I lived in New Zealand was back in 2011, and I left just a few days after the earthquake to start a PhD in Sydney. After four years in Australia I did a couple of residencies in Paris and Italy before moving to Vienna.

Manchester Street
Manchester Street, Christchurch by Louise Henderson was painted in 1929 and shows a streetscape that remained largely unchanged until the earthquake of 22 February.
