painting

The pictures and works are mostly arranged in extensive and often large-scale installations. In addition to painting and installation, his work also involves a complex examination of language and music. His work is based in particular on the extensive handwritten notes he has made for years. With the font, which is always present in the work, Hammer has been significantly expanding the narrative space of his works for over ten years, increasing the complexity.

From 2006 to 2013 he worked with the artist Sebastian Gögel in the artist group HAGEL. Large-format installations, textile and paper works were created.

In 2007 he received a working grant from the Kunstfonds Bonn Foundation , in 2010 a working grant from the Art Fund of the Free State of Saxony, in 2013 project funding from the Kunstfonds Bonn Foundation and in the same year project funding from the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony . Also in 2013, he received a six-week work grant in New York.
