Hemmert's work is very colorful and has an air of childish whimsy. I like how fun and carefree they feel, even though it seems like there is a more serious undertone to them. The large scale makes them seem momentous and important, no matter what he is trying to say with them. They command attention, but I'm not exactly sure if they could keep it for long. They do seem like they would be easy to view and then move on right away because someone might take them at face value as, for example, a tank made of balloons.
