About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. A feast of form and color, Cherries by Heinz Schönhammer is a celebration of pure, gleaming abundance. The canvas overflows with clusters of ripe, red fruit, each cherry painted with a mirror-like sheen that catches and reflects light in dazzling variation. The repetition of round forms and taut skin creates a rhythm that pulses with life and ripeness. Schönhammer’s hyperrealist style turns the surface into a field of sensual delight—light glances across glossy surfaces while stems curve like elegant calligraphy. Deep burgundies, bright crimsons, and inky purples intermingle, lending the composition a velvety richness that’s as tactile as it is visual. Cherries is a vibrant ode to color, excess, and nature’s indulgence, elevated to visual poetry through masterful control of light and tone. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Artist Biography: Heinz Schönhammer was born in Vienna, Austria. After completing his fine art studies, he sought artistic inspiration across Europe, traveling to the Netherlands and Germany before eventually settling in Turin, Italy. There, he established significant connections with notable Italian artists such as Antonio Carena, Lucio Fontana, and Piero Ruggeri—broadening his artistic horizons and influence. In 1975, Schönhammer relocated with his family to Meran in South Tyrol, where the breathtaking Alpine landscape became a powerful source of inspiration. It was there that he refined his distinctive style, which blends photorealism with a deeply personal pursuit of harmony and beauty. Schönhammer is renowned for his mastery of Hyperrealism, a genre that demands extraordinary attention to detail and an analytical eye. His work reflects a deep enthusiasm for the aesthetics of balance and tranquility, making his paintings emotionally resonant and visually arresting. Over the course of his career, Schönhammer has received widespread acclaim from both critics and collectors. His work has been mentioned in major art journals such as Arte Italiana per il Mondo and Bolaffi, as well as in encyclopaedias highlighting artists of international relevance. He has exhibited widely in solo and group shows across Europe and the United States, including in Vienna, London, New York, Los Angeles, Salzburg, Düsseldorf, and Dallas. Today, Heinz Schönhammer continues to live and work in his native Vienna, where he remains dedicated to his artistic practice.
