Beschreibung:
Hennek, MatMat Hennek was born in the Black Forest area of Germany in 1969 and today lives with his partner, the French pianist Hélène Grimaud, in Upstate New York. While previously based in Berlin, Hennek created influential photographic portraits for the entertainment and music industries,before turning his attention to natural landscapes. Hennek's photography has been featured in solo exhibitions throughout Europe, Asia and the USA.
In Woodlands Mat Hennek presents genuine portraits of trees, the results of numerous hikes through various forests in Europe and the USA. Hennek sets out to discover extraordinary places in remote and often diffi cult to access areas, traveling on the road beyond human civilization for days. He removes spatial landmarks, alternately erasing the ground and horizon to unhinge any sense of direction. Light and shadow, pattern and structure build up to an impressionistic hymninfinite, without a center, without beginning or end.
Hennek presents the woods as a divine, mystical architecture which we experience as well as see. Through a graphic style that sublimates the landscape into pure abstraction, he eliminates the border between painting and photography, revealing the soul of a landscape- one that is unique, indivisible and an integral part of nature.
