Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21,5 x 27,5 cm, 128 Seiten/pages - Uwe Henneken constructs pictures of nature, which demonstrate the desires and expectations of the idealised beautiful landscape image that has been groomed for centuries. They are, however, drenched in lurid and unreal colour schemes, shifting the subject matter into surreality and absurdity and informing a contemporary perspective on the classical landscape genre. Henneken plays with the representation of tragicomic figures in his paintings in a similar way. This selection of more than 60 paintings and sculptures from between 2005 and 2010 presents Henneken as a master of bizarre and unbridled artistic humour.
