Soon after his studies, Wagner decided to live between two countries, six months in Germany, six months in Dublin in Ireland. Characteristic of Hermann Wagner's art are large-format paintings that occupy the space and the gaze of the viewer in a special way. He exhibited regularly throughout his lifetime both here in Ireland and his native Germany.
