Herbert Hamak is a german artist, born 1952 in Unterfranken, Germany.
His works impress because they are strongly structured, rigorous, transparent, and ambiguous entities. The transparency is such as to capture and s such as to capture and retain light. The ambiguity lies in the vitreous consistency of the material, a midway point between solid, liquid, and airy. Its inner upheavals and turbulence are changes that have already taken place, the outcome of a process (with all its phases and reactions) of which we are now offered the stable image at an indeterminate point: consolidated and fixed but not ecstatic.
