The John Hewitt Bar
A native of the mountains of East Germany the artist
Volker Mehner has an interest in mythology. Some works
are based on long term intensive studies of medieval
paintings and on literature. Some are dedicated to poet
Seamus Heaney whose essays bear witness to his commitment
to the autonomy of art. Writing poetry for him is digging
with his pen, which explains one poem’s title.
Mehner with his woodcuts and paintings is digging in
his way. The artist, born in 1953, lives in Berlin.
