Herman Diephuis

Drawing inspiration from the evocative and symbolic power of paintings such as The Raft of the Medusa by Gericault or Freedom Leading by Delacroix, Herman Diephuis and his Fourth Form pupils examine the power of images and the artifice associated with them, the strength of icons, the media, television, posters and museums from an original and offbeat perspective.

Via gestural research delving into our daily lives, they provide a new context for these paintings and create a museum that is both real and imaginary and above all ‘living’.
