Uwe Henneken

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.

Uwe Henneken studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe and at the HBK Berlin, Germany. His work has been shown internationally in galleries and institutions such as CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art of Bordeaux, France; Aspen Art Museum, USA; Museum of Fine Arts of Leipzig, Germany; Meyers Riegger in Karlsruh, Germany and Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York, USA. Recent solo shows include ‘Caves & Volcanoes’, Bark Gallery, Berlin, Germany (2021); ‘Welcome back to where we are’, Galerie Gisela Capitain, Cologne, Germany (2020); ‘Stomp Ground’, Galerie Krobath, Vienna, Austria (2019); ‘Leaves’, CCA, Andratx, Spain (2018) and ‘We travelled so far’, Galerie Rodolphe Janssen, Brussels, Belgium (2016). Uwe Henneken currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
