"Volker Hermes’ main interest lies in the surfaces, dynamics and composition of classical motives of paintings. Hermes analyses works of exemplary status in art history by drawing them on large canvas screens with Edding and other permanent markers. An example of this is the delicate and elaborate depiction of a horse based on the painting by Henri Regnault. Here he took the motive of the horse out of its visual context and focused on the dynamic movement of the horse’s body, and the spectacular luxuriance of the animal’s mane."
