self portraits
Matthias Hermann
Matthias Hermann’s artwork deals with the complex form ov art we called ‘self-portrait’.
He works about the decomposition ov virility, gender questions, about sexuality, pornography and eroticism, about disease and death.
Hermann produces an ironic and narcissic iconography mixing attractive and repulsive energies.
Slava Mogutin wrote about MH’s work and about his body ‘this persistent showing-off, twisting and masquerading of his well-trained and proportioned body is a carnival mirror reflection of BODY FASCISM which has been the central aspect of gay culture and gay mythology from the get-go.’
