The series of 10 prints has been hand-embellished by the artist using iridescent acrylic paint, making each work unique.
Uwe Henneken’s works explore imaginary worlds set in bygone eras painted in a lush and seductive palette. Often referencing fairy tales and German folklore, Henneken creates scenes populated with fantastic creatures inhabiting ancient forests, romantic mountainous landscapes, and mysterious caves. The mythical events depicted in his works hint at spiritual worlds long vanished and cosmic alternative realities painted in bright, pastel-coloured hues often verging on the cartoonish and psychedelic.
Interested in the connection between artistic and shamanic states of mind, Henneken creates paintings that channel hallucinatory, trance-induced otherworldly realities interweaving self and nature, material and spiritual world, past and present. The artist’s vivid, multi-coloured, phantasmagorical worlds transcend reality to give the viewer access to the boundless potential of our collective imagination.
