ABOUT
Bob Hemauer is a self-taught abstract painter whose work investigates the ethical, political, and emotional questions universal to the human experience. Informed by literary, historical, and social inquiry, his paintings use layering and interval to generate sustained visual tension and resist narrative closure. His work allows complexity and ambiguity to emerge through the sustained act of observation, challenging the viewer to exist with uncertainty and obscurity in an era that respects neither.
Hemauer lives and works in Madison, Wisconsin. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
